WASHINGTON/PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI — Many Haitians dream of having electricity available at all times, but their hopes were dashed Wednesday when Jean Michel Durosca, a U.N. representative for development, bluntly said, "The power problem will take several presidential terms to resolve, I want everyone to understand that."
Durosca said that would be the case even in a climate of political stability, and achieving the goal of 24 hours of electricity is "extremely difficult."
