Wind blowing good

Author: Harry Vassallo

Wind energy is a comparatively low-tech business. In money terms it
has become big business with the major operators rapidly going global
in the backwash of the oil price tsunami. The days of Mop and Pop
operations begging for attention from banks and governments are gone
for good. Oil companies and national energy generators have entered
the field, first granting added legitimacy to the pioneers and then
buying them out. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s a process. The wind
energy generation market can only get bigger and bigger.
