You should sit down with Darien and learn as much as you can about what they are doing, including if there are cost involved with NREL.

As you know, Ira believes WJC has signed off on this.

Thanks I'll put them in touch with you. The islands program is what you and I have discussed in the past. Ira Magaziner now wants to be running it. Maybe something better to discuss in person?

NREL is providing input, they have a great deal of technical expertise and experience designing island energy systems.
