That must be the most uninformed thing that I've read in my life. How is the map of electricity cables between chad and congo?

Are you aware that wind power needs special sites? And you cannot just move it beside where you want it?

Yes I am aware of this and far from being uninformed I am speaking of things I learned from the owners of a successful Wind Power Utility. see Lingan under projects http://www.confedpower.com

They are in Nova Scotia, not Chad so I can't comment on the situation there.

Extra bonus points. This was a startup by people with no prior experience in the industry that has done extremely well from the getgo.
