Thanks for the attaboy, crazy horse!

In order to build something as difficult as a reliable wind turbine, two things are required--a compelling vision and patient capital.

Pirate capitalism has neither.  Good producers have both.

Wind turbines may not be the best example of these phenomena but it is one I thought appropriate for this site.

Yeah, there are many examples of your point about pirate capitalism, but windpower doesn't quite fit.

Hope you enjoyed Eric's windpower site (above comment).  I think it's gorgeous and a great template of the industry.  Wish lot's of people would go there and check it out.  He's the perfect example of the antidote for pirate capitalism.  (But then some of us did do it for the greater good, and not because there was so much money to be made... which really hurt the industry.)
