28232: lyall (more comment) Haiti's energy future (fwd)

Sun and Wind are good things to look to for energy. Sure. I don't know if 'the 
international community' is required here, except maybe to provide loss 
insurance for investors.

Do we want EDH owning solar panel farms on Savanne Desole and anba Morne 
Cabrit? How about a multinational energy company? They do things like this with 
their own money. EDH would have to contract to buy power from someone who was 
willing to build solar farms or windmills.

I think the mountains above PauP have good places for huge windmills.

Perhaps the history of burning ports and factories and sugar plantations  would 
make investors leery of putting money in. It has made Haitians leery of 
investing at home. That is where the idea of external loss insurance could come 
into play. Probably brother Lance would know the possibility of something like 
this.

Another idea that  I have mentioned in the past is palm plantations for Palm 
Oil to turn into bio-diesel. Let Titid and Jean Claude come back and compete in 
creating the most productive bio-diesel plantations and refineries!

Oh, Electricity de France has the worlds best record with Nuclear energy. Do we 
have uranium deposits in Haiti?
