Simple Third World Country Solutions: 


1. Solar powered tubewell (won't work in the States due to fracking) 

2. Solar powered Rickshaw

3. Villages can easily produce "bio gas" 

(Combining these with the cheap lighting, hemp and irrigation techniques - with traditional clay pot irrigation techniques such as this and this - third world agricultural economies have a complete low tech solution to start and move forward with)

Green Horizons' Mobile Central Service Unit provides enough clean energy and emergency water for a temporary, off-grid village

Concentrating solar power companies Abengoa and BrightSource Energy will soon team up to build the world’s largest solar tower facility in Southern California. The new solar development will be located on federal land, and it’s being facilitated by the Bureau of Land Management. The 500-megawatt Palen Solar Electric Generating System will create 2,000 new construction jobs, and it will produce enough electricity to power 200,000 households. The project was unveiled just hours after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar approved 900 MW of solar development in California.

A FUTURE METHOD OF PROPULSION?

Picture
A team from MIT is working on developing ionic wind thrusters as an energy-efficient, low-emission alternative to conventional propulsion technologies like jet engines. The new thrusters would use ionic energy, which is created when a current passes between two electrodes. If one electrode is thinner than the other, it creates an air current in the space between them – and if a substantial voltage is applied, the device could produce powerful thrust without the need for fuel or motors. Read more: MIT Develops Ionic Wind Thrusters As An Efficient Alternative To Jet Engines | Inhabitat - Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building
