The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind
 
Just finished the book. :thumbup:


Basically a 14 year old dropout builds a windmill with no money and handmade tools and creates energy for his house and village. Pretty amazing ecomodding story.:turtle:

Here's the background info.

Here's a short documentary worth watching.

I wish William would come to my house and hook me up!

Very inspiring.

He's got an entry at wikipedia: William Kamkwamba. Looks like he also built a solar powered water pump for the well.
