Wind Energy

I'm glad to see the announcement of clean wind energy initiatives by the province!

I wonder what the $ deal is though? Can we pay an existing wind energy firm to show the province how to actually build some of the larger, successful, and reliable turbine designs for ourselves, thereby creating  much needed jobs here while eliminating much expense of simply purchasing them?

This way we can kill several birds with the same stone. We can employ both unskilled labor and out-of-work New Brunswick tradespeople to make these turbines. At the same time, we can create other initiatives such as a profit sharing for these same workers which will be offset by fabrication benchmarks to ensure strict quality control, and additionally, we will be able to offer smaller, residential turbines to New Brunswicker's at, or near cost for added self-sufficiency.

We could do the same for solar panel fabrication, and thermal heat pumps. All we need is enough voices, and of course, the political will...
