Nicaraguan Wind Power



Not exactly news here but I just got back from Nicaragua and while I was there I stumbled on a 19 turbine wind farm.

Given the completely corrupt electricity infrastructure there (the president has his hands in three of the companies involved and all three buy over-priced products from each other), and given the proximity of the farm to the Costa Rican border, I actually thought this farm was in Costa Rica. But no, it turns out that it's in Nicaragua. Nicaragua's current primary power source is diesel.
