According to Reuters, Vestas, the wind turbine maker, saw its order intake go down by 24 percent during the first half of the year.

Vesta was the leading and pioneers of the world’s wind turbine industry. IIRC from my Danish newspaper, I believe they were loosing the battle with China???

I think you have the same scenario with solar panels!!!

No modern country can compete with slave labor living in company dormotories in China.

The average western consumer/customer has no choice when he wants to buy items and all the “manufacturers” are simply importing goods from Chinese factories.

By the time the boardroom took it's 'fair share' and sent it to their offshore Cayman accounts and then donated a few million in payback to the DNC, a few hundred thousand in left-over chump-change doesn't keep too many employed too long.
