The wind turbines produces different amounts of power, but according to Hurko Co, a company that is proposing to build a Focus City on Gonave, the ones that could be developed would be 2 MW of power each.  The would look similar to the photo above (courtesy of earthtechling.com).  This photo was sent to be Hurko Co as a model for what they expect for Gonave.  They would build a road (most likely gravel) to connect different communities, and along the way build these large turbines. Potential grant money from the United States could be used to build these turbines over a stretch of 1 to 2 miles.  The power created would be enough to start small scale manufacturing, and even powering homes on ...
