ACCIONA~ Corruption/Clean Energy Plays Dirty in Oaxaca ~ Mexico.

Another familiar name in the news. Lucky for us our Ex - Supervisor, Reinbeck used his Keen NE-GO-TI-A-TING skills and was able to broker that deal where we are getting the new fence around the cemetery and the paint job on the Light house or is that a snow job we are getting?

Generating enough electricity to power a small city while offsetting several hundred thousand tons of carbon emissions sounds like an ideal source of eco-friendly energy. But tell that to the residents of La Ventosa in Oaxaca, Mexico.

The government and private developers promised locals that the relentless winds that whip this part of southern Mexico would be an economic boon for the town. And now, the $550 million project is converting more than 6,000 acres of local campesino and indigenous lands into Latin America's largest wind farm.
