India blackout shines light on solar alternative

Aug. 1 - The failure of India's northern electricity grid this week has shone a light on the massive demand for power in a country that is struggling to maintain supply. It has also bolstered efforts to develop solar power as an alternative, particularly in the country's more remote regions. As Tara Cleary reports, residents of one small village in central India's Meerwada district are seeing the results for themselves with solar power lighting up their lives in ways they could never have imagined.
