big solar thermal cookers heat thermal oil for later use at night. but for households, thermal oil heating is not feasible. it ain’t easy goin solar (or goin green)….datz why polluters (fuel burning pple) r really comfortable.

poor urban pple w/o jobs in d philippines buy charcoal (some buy liquefied petroleum gas tanks) 4cooking not bcoz solar cookers r useless but coz dey think dey don’t have time to think bout tis solar cooker technology. mainly itz bout behavioral change….imagine poor pple becoming poorer by always buying charcoal or LPGs…..hmmmmm…..
