Ok, But its hard for me to think positive about someone who would advocate on such as large scale a niche technology like wind power. Yes everyone can make a mistake, but it doesn’t take advanced Martian algebra to calculate that such an investment is nonsense. Unless the goal is the USG subsidy not commercial profit.

Wind power needs fast generation back up like from NG fired plants. He owned huge fields of N Gas!!

He never had the resources to buy any of the larger companies he went after. His money was in selling back shares to the firm. Unocal refused to deal with him. That and the long decline in crude prices around 1990 killed his operations along with the anti takeover laws. He used to muse it was easier to find oil on wall street than in the oil fields.
