wow, how many carbon credits do you get for buying 1,000,000 of those boxes? I kind of doubt people actually use the box, they will probably be a joke, but i am sure millions are sold as a means of getting carbon credits.

This contraption is nothing more than a cardboard box with some aluminum foil glued to the interior of the box and the upper flaps.

Unless you were “cooking” on a very bright, hot day, you would have better luck “magiking” the food cooked. At best, this is a food warmer, not a cooker.

And notice: it doesn’t say the box will actually boil water, only that it will “help” boil water. “Help” boil water? What the heck does that mean? Maybe it means that the box will warm the water up a bit, thus making it boil a bit faster when the box user finally rips the box into shreds and burns it under his (pre-warmed) water pot.

Jeepers, why couldn't I have thought of a Kyoto Box?

I do believe I detect the globe is cooling already.

I could be wrong.

The poor people will probably rip the boxed up and use them to make a roof

And it takes HOW long to cook a meal? Does it actually warm the food enough to kill bacteria?

Wow, $75,000 dollars for something that has already been invented. Google solar oven sometime. How to make one was in one of my old survival books. I can’t remember which one. Easiest 75 grand anyone ever made.

I used solar power to cook once in San Antonio. I cooked an egg on the sidewalk cause it was so hot.

Regardless of the GW hysteria, anything that can help folks cook without wood helps avoid deforestation, a devastating issue.
