Dominican Republic



Just returned from the Dominican Republic. We stayed in Santo Domingo for about a week and had a great time. We stayed with a relative who is working on the new subway project and got to see the country in a non-tourist fashion. I will post a movie shortly on some of our DR experiences.

I looked for wind turbines when I was there but found none. A pilot project was abandoned, purportedly due to "lack of wind". The wind was blowing 10-20 knots north of Santo Domingo most of the time I was there so I want to go back to the DR with some VAWTS and see if they are viable.
