>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.
