Solar cookers are a great technology. I was at MoMA and saw the "elasticity" exhibit and the cell phone solar power source technology. What are the needs of these homeowners and how might a market be developed to provide a package of "efficient, cost-effective, and easily deployable technologies" to meet that market? Tickling your Intellect, Dee Hi Bill,
