When I was chilling out in Costa Rica the other day, I noticed they are using wind power to generate electricity. This is sumtin we should explore in Ja.

7 companies submit proposals for R.I. wind farm
PROVIDENCE, R.I. --Seven developers have submitted proposals to build an energy-generating wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island.
The project proposed by Gov. Donald Carcieri is expected to cost up to $1.9 billion. But if completed, it is expected to supply up to 15 percent of the state's electricity needs.
Friday was the deadline for bids. Jerome Moynihan, the state's administrator of purchasing systems, says the contents of the bids will not be released to the public until the state has awarded a contract.
Three of the companies making proposals are based in Rhode Island. One is based in Texas.
The governor will now choose a team of state officials to examine the proposals. The examiners will try to narrow down the proposals and invite the top contenders for interviews.
A final decision is expected by the end of the summer.
