This week I met a guy working for an energy research institute. He told me the wind energy department had to let 20% of the people go because they had to cut costs and this particular department was not profitable enough anymore. The industry is mature and has taken over.

Then I suggested that they could be focusing on enhancing the profitability of renewable energy sources by operating mining equipment in tandem, to stabalize the grid and as a buyer of last resort.

I think I made his day because he was literally laughing out loud.

We are still early so it seems. In this tempo it will cost Europe years to catch up when they get it finally.
