Andrew Leonard at salon.com has an interesting post about the Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group, an organization working to bring sustainable technology to the poor. In the course of their learnings, they've archived a wealth of on-line information on low-cost do-it-yourself projects. Their collection of links include plans for making advanced pieces of technology using cheap, accessible tools -- methane digesters, circuit boards, high-efficiency stoves, and so forth. Using these innovative techniques that AIDG references could be extremely useful when designing for Peak Oil -- maybe you could keep your computer running with circuit boards from your printer and solar panels from blueberries!
