Meus caros amigos: Se eu tivesse a oportunidade, teria ido para ouvir snr. Rosa quando ele estava em Kingston. Estou contente para saber do trabalho dele porque conheco um pouco do interior do Brasil. Um abraco, Roy C. Kenny

Great progress

It is heartwarming to read what mr. Rosa is doing in Brazil. In spite of wars and terrorism a.s.o. there is hope for mankind. Perhaps it is time to mention that nowadays Norwegian enterprises have decided to produce silicium with a newly developed method at grand scale in the city of Kristiansand and by the city of Porsgrunn there will be a rather large factory of solar wafers.

If you think George Bush’s solar powered spa is hot, hot, hot, then wait to you hear about Fabio Rosa and his electrifying projects south of the border. Who is this man, you might wonder? Well, Fabio Rosa is a social entrepreneur—a businessman with both social and economic motivations—who has spent the last twenty years bringing electricity to rural areas in Rio Grande do Sur, Brazil’s southern most state. In the early 1980s Rosa achieved the status of a cult hero after he introduced a technology that reduced energy prices by 90%, making electricity affordable to thousands of low-income residents.
