Idea -- Regional relocalization.   Will support areas where you do not have critical mass within a single town. In combined towns model, you have critical mass to spin different projects.

Planning board: Michel would like our help in town meeting in support on the planning board wind bylaw.  There is an ammendment that might strick it down, since you need 2/3 majority to get it approve.  Have a letter where we present our support without the ammendment.

AI: Leo and Yuval will draft a letter that will show our support. Due Friday April 17th.
if we can have telephone poles we should be able to get electricity from Wind farms.
