...methane, and keep [the other] end cold, by cooling it with water - electricity comes out. So we're essentially running your refrigerator backwards, with a sealed system that makes about as much noise a your refrigerator, and will last as many years without maintenance. And it runs on any fuel. Anything that makes the bottom of that sucker hot, will give you electricity...
...data..." Any data? Those machines ran flawlessly around the clock. Each village went from never seeing electricity, never having a light bulb at night, to being fully electrified. They're small villages. But they were fully electrified for nearly half year each. And the only fuel - there's no infrastructure for that either - that went into each of these boxes was [methane gas from] cow dung. A pit next to the box and the most basic bio-digester you've ever seen... the pipe comes out of it and into our engine, and it made electricity. And since the power...

The reason I moved to a city is I wanted high density. I don't want to be spread out from...

As the blistering afternoon sun beats down, the fishermen of Garrucha (pop. 8,000) pull their boats into the harbor with the day's catch, and gather in a café on the dockside. Over coffee they talk for hours. "Fuel prices have risen, and fish prices are really low. We wonder if it is worth it anymore," says Juan Cervantes, 55, who began fishing on his father's boat at age 14, married a local girl at 17, and supported their four children by hauling fish from the Mediterranean...
