I was sitting down for drinks last night with a couple of guests  here at the
hotel and we got to talking about Wind and its potential for  generation of
electricity.

They told me about a project in Massachusetts to provide electricity for
250,000 homes with a wind farm. The start up cost was at about 356 million
dollars and the farm is estimated to cover a space of 6 miles by 8  miles.

I'm guessing that the electricity of 250,000 homes in the U.S. may  equal to
at least a million homes in Haiti.
