I smell a huge serge in Wind Power projects coming on in the next 2-5 years. Can you share some of the concerns shared by the top people in the industry relative to their ability to find engineering professionals and integrators to give legs to their visions?
I may sound somewhat elementary here, but I am hearing and reading a lot about what the nation
“needs” to do, but not seeing a whole lot of the action. What is keeping companies from making this type of renewable resource solution a reality?
