Comments on: The Effect of Solar Ovens on Fuel Use, Emissions, and Health http://blogs.washplus.org/iaqupdates/2012/04/the-effect-of-solar-ovens-on-fuel-use-emissions-and-health/ from the WASHplus Project Sat, 19 Sep 2015 07:30:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.4 By: Darwin O'Ryan Curtis http://blogs.washplus.org/iaqupdates/2012/04/the-effect-of-solar-ovens-on-fuel-use-emissions-and-health/#comment-3866 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:12:58 +0000 http://blogs.washplus.org/iaqupdates/?p=2462#comment-3866 Please note in the statement above this phrase: “…80% of our respondents typically cook for more people than the capacity of the solar oven,,,,” This is comparable to saying: “The Smart Car is a failure because we tested it as a school bus and 30 children couldn’t fit in it.” It would be more relevant to say: “80% of the respondents were inappropriately selected because they cooked for more people than the capacity of the solar oven.” We have asked the authors to revise their misleading conclusions accordingly. They refused. Coming from so prestigious a source as the University of California at Berkeley, this mis-information is likely to be damaging to our advocacy of solar cooking. I hope the reader will form an independent conclusion
