New wind farm in Mexico

Mexico fires up $550 million wind farm - USATODAY.com

The new, $550 million project is in a region so breezy that the main town is named La Ventosa, or "Windy." It's on the narrow isthmus between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, where winds blow at 15 mph to 22 mph, a near-ideal rate for turbines. Gusts have been known to topple tractor trailers.

It will produce enough energy to power a city of
500,000 people, while reducing carbon monoxide emissions by 600,000
metric tons each year, according to the company.

Esteban Morras, Acciona board member, said the project could be just the start for Mexico.
