Clean Energy for Rural Pakistan

I was forwarded this news story about Shazia Khan, a former Vermont Law School student of mine, who is working to bring clean energy to rural Pakistan.  Her non-profit, Eco Energy Finance, provides "electricity to remote areas of Pakistan for people whose lives are restricted when the sun goes down. Her idea is to harness solar power and turn it into electricity for villagers."  Great example of a social entrepreneur.  Full story is here:
