3 for 3 is a reference to the fact that 3 offshore wind farms were project financed, and I did all three. Given ET's ongoing interest as to what a "market" is, well, chew on the fact that one could say that I am the offshore wind project finance market...

In the States, Rep. Earl Blumenauer usually wears a bicycle lapel pin to signify his advocacy and legislation for improving bike-infrastructure in the U.S.

If you're going to Netroots Nation this year, perhaps you should wear a wind turbine lapel pin? ;-) I know it's kind of tacky American-style, but it might be fun?

Anyway, since you are Mr. Offshore Wind Finance -- you, at least, need to get yourself a nice picture of yourself posing like this one of Rep. Jerry McNerney, but from the deck of a nice sailboat:

Anyways, I think you can rightfully be proud that you help make the world a better place. Congratulations and thank you!

That's good... but it needs to have you better lit and posed to make you look more triumphant and/or visionary. *grin*

Plus, if my memory isn't playing tricks on me, I seem to recall that picture once having a turbine sprouting from your noggin...

For all techie wind bloggers, Jerry's photo appears to be in the Altamont Pass, sunrise (because the upwind turbines face west.) They're likely Micon, Nordtank or Bonus, turbines with approx 27m rotors. In any case from Denmark.  Erected back in the paleolithic (1984?) they are still running. One's missing a nacelle cover, but hey.

It's important to realize that these turbines have already outlived their planned lifetime by five years.
