Without the tax subsidy (which expires end of CY012 and the House shows no interest in renewing) turbines are completely uneconomic.
So I’m sure orders are zip right now.
There’s a big wind farm going in here in N. Central Indiana that the company is hiring anybody with a pulse to get these things up and running by end of the year, otherwise they don’t get the subsidies.
...and interestingly enough there is a complete halt to wind farms here in SD. There was at least one ready to go, but before construction started they wisely put the deal on hold.
Don’t think I will ever get used to them. Ugly eyesore.
