		<description><![CDATA[The main message from the Nepali Times EcoFair over the weekend was that the “alternative” has become “mainstream”. Nepal Electricity Authroity is a “mainstream” utility, but it doesn&#8217;t provide us adequate power, so solar electricity suppliers have now become the mainstream.
