If I was in Nepal, I would start aneducation programme regarding electricity. I think with a few changes in practice, it would definitely make a lot of savings.Simple things such as understanding how much is too much, what lights use up the most power, distribute energy saving bulbs. However, at the sametime, any electricty savings made is *no excuse*for not investing in more power sources - especially renewable sources.
