Energy wise
(DVD Video) 

Originally broadcast as a Hands on episode of the television program Earth report in 2005.

Demonstrates several innovative and enterprising sustainable solutions to energy issues. Shows a solar energy company in India, which has developed a wide range of solar-powered equipment, installations, and after-care support for lighting, water pumping and purification, and TV and radio. Shows how the world's first train to be run solely on biogas was developed by Svensk Biogas, a private company in Sweden. Features Ramesh Nibhoria, an Indian mechanical engineer who has developed a large-scale institutional stove, the Sanjha Chulha, which uses biomass briquettes that make use of waste agricultural products of no economic value to farmers and turns them into a source of cash income. Looks at a Scottish entrepreneur who is seeking to expand the role of wind energy through small wind turbines, hardly more intrusive than a satellite dish, which could be attached to most homes. Discusses how biogas stoves in Nepal that work with cow dung provide numerous benefits, including a reduction of pressure on forestry resources, improved sanitation and health because of less smoke, and improvements in crop yields.
