Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The  electricity sector in Honduras is characterized by the dominance of a vertically integrated utility (except for about half of the generation capacity); an incomplete attempt in the early 1990s to reform the sector; the increasing share of thermal generation over the past two decades; the poor financial health of the state utility Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (ENEE); the high technical and commercial losses in transmission and distribution; and the low electric coverage in rural areas.
The key challenges in the sector are:

how to finance investments in generation and transmission in the absence of either a financially healthy utility or of concessionary funds by external donors for these types of investments;
how to rebalance tariffs, cut arrears and reduce commercial losses - including electricity theft - without fostering social unrest;
how to reconcile environmental concerns with the government's objective to build two new large dams and associated hydropower plants; and
how to improve access in rural areas.In June 2007, the President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, declared an "energy emergency". An Intervention Board (Junta Interventora), headed by the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Finance, was temporarily put in charge of ENEE to address the crisis. The mandate of this Board has recently been extended until October 2008.
