I wonder if everyone here really understands the powerful steps forward that JaP and his bank have made, to all our benefit.  Think about it for a minute.  Despite the incredible strides windpower has made in the past decades, there is still opposition, especially in britain where the resource is strongest.  BUT, here we see that the industry can even install turbines with foundations under water!  We can bear the extra cost because of the far more powerful, steady, and less turbulent winds offshore.

In the context of ET, the readers here should feel privileged to have the discussion of European and wider politics, as well as economic and social theory, undergirded by a man who puts his career on the line for the vision of a future seen in the photos above.

As someone who first was recognized for promoting the potential of offshore windpower in 1980 (or was it 1981?), i can only congratulate our ET Founder, and hope we can use this platform to enhance all of our visions and understandings.

Of course, J is just taking some "kudos" time from this project, knowing that next week he still has to get back to work on the next series of projects which still need to reach the same level of what he's already achieved with this baby.  But i stand behind his efforts with all my experience can muster.
