Image via Nokero One small solar lightbulb is looking to be the solution to replace billions of polluting kerosene lamps. According to the Nokero Solar Light Bulb manufacturers, over 1.6 billion people still use fuel-burning devices to get illumination, most of that in the form of kerosene. Fuel lanterns emit 190 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air each year. Yet this little bulb with four small solar panels attached purportedly provides five times the light of kerosene lamps while using 1/200th the energy consumption. It could be a very interest… Read the full story on TreeHugger
