>The quality of life found in the United States, Europe, and other 
>developed countries was made possible largely through the Industrial 
>Revolution and the subsequent harnessing of electricity, but much of the 
>world still has no access to electrical power and all of its benefits. 
>Mathias Craig, an MIT graduate of Civil and Environmental Engineering 
>(S.M. 2003), grew a nonprofit company named BlueEnergy out of a business 
>plan competition to address this issue in Mexico and Central America. 
>BlueEnergy is now working with local communities in Bluefields, Nicaragua, 
>to build small wind turbines for electrical power.  Mathias will speak on 
>his involvement with BlueEnergy along with his technology director Darin 
>Bird and project director Guillaume Craig.  Space is limited, so please 
>arrive early.
