You bring up an interesting issue, HB. I know from conversations with some business folks in Samana this past summer that they are particularly hurting because of the electrical supply problem. Yet how to supply more to the region without having a potential negative impact on its terrific natural beauty -- Samana's chief tourist attraction -- and the whales, which draws in alot of eco-tourism. Anyone want to take a stab at the issue? Maybe one of our DR1ers from the region, such as Andy B, can brief us on what options have been looked at in recent years.

One which will come up, possibly, in the future will be the isntallation of a Seaboard place in the Samana Bay, probably near Sanchez, to supply electricity to Santiago and its environs.
this will spoil a fairly pristine area, have a possible impact on the Whales!!, and the freaking stuff is so out of date that it should be given away...
