One woman who I encountered turned down my offer, and she said, “Mon chéri, c'est trop Cher,” which basically means, “My dear, it's too expensive.” But I tried to explain to her, “Look, this is going to save you a lot of money, and it's going to give you even better light than what you're using now with the kerosene.” So I didn't make the sale, but I did learn a really important lesson, which is that technology, products, were not going to end energy poverty.
Una dona que vaig trobar va refusar la meva oferta tot dient:  "Mon chéri, c'est trop cher", que vol dir: "Això és massa car, rei". Vaig intentar explicar-li: "Però t'estalviaràs un munt de diners i et donarà una llum millor que la que tens ara amb el querosè". No la vaig poder vendre, però vaig aprendre una lliçó important, que és que els productes tecnològics no acabarien amb la pobresa energètica.
