[Its.an.education.project] Energy alternatives (comes from ''Ivan's latest blog entry on OLPC'')

[info at olpc-peru.info]

the solar maps that have been indicated just show the "what should be" 
situation according to the place that the countries have in the globe.

Peru has a different climate (we should be an almost equatorial country! 
full of sun!) due to the Humboldt current and the presence of the 2nd 
highest chain of mountains in the word: the Andes Mountain Chain.

Javier Rodriguez
Lima, Peru
