Energy: Cuba opens experimental wind farm

Cuba's state media has reported that Cuba has opened an experimental wind farm, hoping alternative energy sources can one day ease occasional power shortages, while reducing the island's dependence on oil.

The park, featuring six, 55-metre windmills and known as "Los Canarreos," was established on Isla de la Juventud, an island south of Havana, the Communist party youth newspaper Juventud Rebelde reported.

It was built using French technology and its windmills are designed to be disassembled quickly in case of hurricanes or tropical storms.
