town named after cheese sees the light of solar energy

Residents of the remote Indian village of Gudda recently got their first taste of electric light thanks to a local guy and his solar lanterns.

CNN lights up:

"When the lanterns first arrived, the villagers asked, 'What is this?' " says Hanuman Ram, the local solar engineer. "I explained to them how it worked. Then slowly, as people saw it, they said, 'Wow, what a thing this is!'"

A woman carrying a jug of water on her head was very excited about the prospect of working long hours into the night assembling shoes and quickly asked if the lanterns would stream YouTube like her iPhone.
