Take a look at this video and then I'll comment.
It's a little long, but worth the time.
Now, this video is about bringing solar cookers to Africa, but when you think about it, this could also work here in the United States.
In areas where there is adequate sunlight, you could supply the inexpensive solar cookers to lower-income citizens and significantly reduce the amount of money they have to spend on cooking.
If they use electricity or gas to cook with, they would save the money that they would normally spend on their electric or gas bill. They also would save money in the summer because they would not have to have air conditioning to cool down the house after using the stove. This would be especially helpful in the areas of the country that have a lot of sunlight, because those are generally the areas that have higher temperatures and would have higher electric bills for cooling.
What do you think? Is this a plan that might work? Would the reduced cooking costs and air conditioning costs, etc., be a viable plan to help put an extra few hundred dollars a year back into the family budgets?
I think that it's a very, very good possibility.
