Wind Power in Patagonia

I read this BBC story about a project installing a series of wind turbines in rural Patagonia, a region in Argentina. Serving largely indigenous people, this project has been run by the local government and helps out the people of the region, giving many power for the first time. It has also had the effect of bringing together a traditionally disparate, spread out group of people into something resembling a community, as they help each other set up these turbines on their property. It seems to show that modernization does not always have to be an evil for indigenous people, and when handled right actually benefits them rather than exploiting them.
