Re: This, That, and the Other (4.00 / 5)

Thanks for posting this, dvx. DisGen is headed by the former CEO of Kenetech, the now-bankrupt company which gave the wind industry a giant black eye in the 90's, and even left some horribly under-performing turbines in Tarifa, Spain and The Netherlands. The Lakota deserve better than this.

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

Re: This, That, and the Other (none / 0)

Community Wind (4.00 / 2)

There was a short discussion of Community Windpower in one of the diaries recently. The same principles should apply to the tribe as well, they should be full partners in the windpark.

Some companies try to do it right, or at least include the resource stakeholders (landowners.)
