In the past few decades there have been numerous initiatives targeting inventors with the aim of creating new, cheap and efficient ways of harnessing abundant sun in the equatorial regions of the planet to produce energy as an alternative to burning wood for energy. The idea behind these initiatives is that deforestation in the regions of the planet most severely affected by its repercussions could be curbed. From the fuel efficient charcoal stove, to the new Kyoto Box, many inventions driven by these initiatives make a brief appearance before fading away unimplemented. Why have these gadgets not caught on despite obvious advantages? Is there a deeper issue that is not being addressed?
