In this Jan. 18, 2010 photo, MCpl. Steve Malenfant, center, from Calgary, Alberta of the Canadian Army Reservists attached to Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry out of Shilo, Manitoba is seen during an information gathering patrol in Kandahar City, southern Afghanistan. If the push to electrify Kandahar City succeeds, the potential payoff is great. It would mean lights in the streets at night, access to news broadcasts and the opportunity to grow Kandahar into a manufacturing hub that can compete with neighboring Pakistan.
