A crash course in changing the world.
In India's Rice Belt, 350 million people live without reliable electricity. But they have lots of rice -- and rice husks discarded from harvest. Using these discarded husks to generate electricity, became the entrepreneur idea of Chip Ransler and Manoj Sinha. They devised a way to turn husks into biogas, which fuels mini power plants that power ~25,000 households in more than 250 villages and hamlets and impact lives of approximately 150,000 people in rural India. Also the ash from generating the gas isn't wasted: it can be used as fertilizer or as a low-cost ingredient for cement.
