Am a big fan of renewable power and I believe we have the capacity as a nation to harness it, I know its kinda expensive to put up but the long term effect is much better, if more companies invested in this I believe even the cost of electricity would come down. If we then used the electricity in the industries we would have a competitive edge. Some one should put up some 'solar plant' in the same region to supplement this. I also believe near the ocean or the costal region has lots of wind... I think this is a wonderful idea.... But again politics might come in.... ;-)

It takes 150,000 acres (66,0000 ha)
in Turkana to produce 30% of the country's electricity requirements
from wind only. If you dont believe me check out
www.laketurkanawindpower.com.
They are in the process of putting up 326 wind turbines and 425 km of
powerlines. My only beef is that it's taken Dutch tourists to harness
the reasources in our own backyard right under our noses.
If I was to go mathematical doesn't this mean with an additional 45k
acres we can double our energy output currently standing at 1000 Mw?
And from renewable source; green power!
