					<description><![CDATA[Ethiopia on Thursday signed a 220-million-euro (300 million dollar) deal with a French company for the construction of Africa&#8217;s largest wind farm. 
The contract was inked by representatives of the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPC) and French wind turbine manufacturer Vergnet. 
The wind farm is expected to produce 120 megawatts within two and half years, making it the largest such project on the continent. 
&#8220;This is a very strategic project for us. The first (largest) in Africa for wind energy .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A group of villagers gather at the local bicycle repair shop at Njiapanda, a dusty roadside hamlet on the rift valley in Singida region in central Tanzania, to marvel at magazine pictures of massive electricity-generating wind turbines.
They have never seen anything like this before and are clearly impressed.
They will soon find out exactly what the turbines are like. In a matter of months, 24 of these 100m-plus-high power generators will be erected next to their homes, as part of the .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

CAPE Town has, with much fanfare, just embraced wind power, that green panacea of sustainable and clean energy. But we are most unlikely to hear of its cost, its inefficiency and, indeed, its damage to the environment. We will hear that wind power helps curb our greenhouse-gas emissions, makes the country less dependent on fossil fuels and energy imports and &#8212; the icing on the cake &#8212; also creates jobs.
