>>Some big power stations would be a good start.<< Mq, small ones are even better... Biogas-Fueled MicroTurbine Energy Systems to Debut in India Tuesday November 23, 7:35 pm ET CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 23, 2004--Los Angeles based Capstone Turbine (www.microturbine.com; Nasdaq:CPST), the world's leading manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, has been selected to provide a biogas-to-energy demonstration project in West Bengal, India. The project, at a dairy farm, is expected to be online mid-2005. It will be the first installation of Capstone MicroTurbine(TM) energy systems in India. "This will introduce microturbines as a clean, climate-friendly, decentralized energy generation technology option for India," S.P. Gon Chaudhury, Director of the West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency, said last week at a memorandum of understanding signing ceremony attended by US Consul General George Sibley and Capstone representatives. The project will encompass two new anaerobic digesters (which create biogas from manure), gas pre-treatment equipment, two Capstone C30 systems and a microgrid to export power. "This cooperative agreement between Capstone, the US Agency for International Development, the US Asia Environmental Partnership and the regional government body of India will, we believe, serve as the first stepping stone to further deployments, particularly in converting waste gases in India into renewable energy," said Capstone CEO John Tucker. The dairy will use all of the thermal energy and about one-third of the electricity produced by the pair of microturbines. The remaining electricity will be distributed via a microgrid to a nearby village. About Capstone Turbine Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.microturbine.com; Nasdaq:CPST) is the world's leading producer of low-emission microturbine systems.

Hi Maurice, <<Does Skype work on your GPRS gadget? Mobiles need MSFT Pocket PC to download. I think GPRS might be a bit too slow to handle Skype well enough>> GPRS is too slow for Skype voice, OK for Skype messenger/MS messenger. I used my Skype in a diner today. HK, being very urban, is simply saturated with WiFi hot-spots that allows one to elbow one's way on to the Internet. It worked fine and felt relaxed. No need for CDMA in HK. WiFi/Skype is FREE and works beautifully. Chugs, Jay
