Aguacate & Leon & Costa Rica
First, about Costa Rica: From http://insidecostarica.com/business/2009/february/09-02-06.htm you can read that "Ninety-eight percent of Costa Rica’s electricity already comes from renewable energy".
El Aguacate was a power station that ran for decades under Somoza in Carazo, powering Diriamba, Jinotepe, and San Marcos. Once Daniel and his friends got their hands on it in the 80s, they thought it was easier to loot the copper from the generators than keep them in repair.
The Leon Biodiesel plant was donated by the Swiss government - which funded this obviously multimillion-dollar project a bit later than the Aguacate plundering. Handed it over to the Nicaraguans, who shut it down and looted it.
You had really never heard about these? You must be a young guy. Ask Daniel. He's probably got the parts in one of his warehouses, if he didn't sell them to China, that is.
