--R Bradbury:
It makes me want to cry when you realize that a 100W human
being could be powered by the solar energy falling on a few
square meters of land. All we lack is the technology to
efficiently translate that energy into a useful resource for
humans (or conversely the technology to translate humans into
entities that can effectively use that resource -- probably a
bit harder from a technological viewpoint).

But over the last two years, severe drought, in between bouts of flooding,
has battered the region once again. This time, the problem is complicated by
the high incidence of H.I.V. infection along with the political turmoil in
Zimbabwe and mismanagement Malawi.
Not energy, but the lack of building cisterns and water storage tanks for the
drought years. The lack of using condoms, promoting hiv. Its government, not
technology.
