re: Wind Power Production Drops Despite 6.2GW of Added Capacity

Lots of down time with gearbox problems and other mechanical and electrical issues is what an associate of mine who works in the industry told me.
But the nation will continue to push in the direction of wind and solar, there is a huge amount of taxpayer money involved and a lot of persuasive foreign interest.
When you track the subsidy money you see that one company, NextEra, has multiple spin off companies involved in wind and solar, in fact almost all have ties to NextEra. One very active company is Invenergy, a company whose CEO is Micheal Polsky, a guy who is from Ukraine.
Hmmm, wonder if there are any dots to connect…
