Simon Mwacharo and William Kamkwamba - Renewable Energy Innovators.
Here is the video i did with Simon Mwacharo, the founder of Craftskills, a wind and solar company based in Kenya. This was recorded after his TED talk which you can find a great summary of at LHKB Ethan’s and my post on his talk can be found here.
**I am a total noob on this one, please pardon the frequent uh huh’s vigorous head nodding and leading questions…I said it was a conversation right? Right. I promise that the next video I make will definitely be better; I am getting started on Pixel Corps to get me on the road to better digital media work.(Thanks Alex Lindsay). Ok, without further ado…

Update1: Mr. Mwacharo commented on the post
We are situated in Kibera slums Nairobi and are looking for a chance to give Africa her pride. Funds will come in handy to place us on an industrial scenario where we can produce these turbines at a lower cost and benefit wananchi.

Meeting these two gentlemen pictured above at TED was indeed an honour. I am not the only one who was impressed…Nii Simmonds has a post on William Kamkwamba, “I see I make”.
Update 2: Via Hash, William Kamkwamba has a blog, do visit him here.
