Long-term policies for a stable base market
The last couple of years have been turbulent years for the industry. The global economy faced several crises like the credit crunch, the Euro crisis and the fiscal cliff in the USA. None of these are completely solved but it looks as if we may have found the way up again.- Category: Publishers Note
Looking at the wider picture
Although Windtech International mainly focuses on the technology of the wind industry, we are aware that it is important sometimes to step back from the development of new equipment to look at the picture more generally. For example, where should we concentrate research and innovation efforts and how does this tie in with considerations about use of different types of energy and whether or not they are subsidised? In his article on page 36, Gene Kelley, of W2 Energy Development Corp, argues that maybe we need to re-examine how we look at the availability and costs of different energy resources.- Category: Publishers Note

Manufacturing the Future Today
This year’s WINDPOWER 2012 Conference & Exhibition was organised in Atlanta, GA, USA. Although there are not any wind farms in that part of the USA there are now over 90 manufacturing plants serving the industry in the Southeast, and so the location was well-suited to this year's theme: Manufacturing the Future Today.- Category: Publishers Note
