Developing Nations to Get Clean-Burning Stoves

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/science/earth/21stove.html?_r=1&scp=8&sq=&st=nyt

Developing countries are receiving help from the United States and other countries in order to help reduce the harmful smoke primitive indoor stoves produce. Hilary Clinton is involved in the project known as the Global Alliance for Clean Cook-stoves that helps address the problem these stoves create. They are trying to generate enough of these in order to have a thriving global industry in cookstoves that are good for the environment.

The article is more informative than anything else, some areas of bias come from the opinions of people that think the indoor stoves are not as environmental friendly. The bias is not specifically against the indoor stoves, it just only gives the positives of the eco- friendly stoves. The author is a pro environmentalist; you can conclude this by the opinions he shares about the stoves and the negative statistics he gives about the others.
