As a Massachusetts resident I feel sorry for our Northern neighbors burdened by our policies.
It's pretty bad when 60 Minutes finds interest in the renewables sector here.
Jan. 2016
Massachusetts' American Superconductor AMSC became the subject of CBS 60 minutes “The Great Brain Robbery” regarding the theft by China’s Sinovel of AMSC wind turbine technology. This is an International industrial espionage thriller yet to be written. AFTER the turbine technology was STOLEN by China, Massachusetts installed Sinovel wind turbines with full knowledge it was stolen. And this stolen technology failed!
AMSC would be the second MA green company involved in industrial espionage and that has prompted national security concerns. MA A123 Systems is equally scandalous, and filed for bankruptcy, with more technology owned or stolen by foreign countries but paid for by U.S. citizens.
Following the money....former Energy Secretary Ian Bowles gifted to FloWind as FloWind Advisor-
Massachusetts former energy secretary was Ian Bowles who restructured the MA energy market SEVEN times with the help of his former Governor's Appointed Advisor First Wind CEO Gaynor. And, Bowles left office to join First Wind as Director.
The very powerful former energy secretary Bowles is Founding Chairman of the MassCEC that invests ratepayer surcharge dollars in green schemes.
Let the Games Begin!
MassCEC (Bowles) granted FloDesign $3 millionwhile Ian Bowles served as Advisor to FloDesignand as Executive Secretary of Energy and Environment and as Founding and Acting Chairman of the MassCEC under the Deval Patrick Administration.
During 2010, Ian Bowles of MassCEC granted FloDesign $3 million, including a 5-year $700,000 forgivable loan, and $1.7 million from MassCEC’s Renewable Energy Trust (that is now called MassCEC). Flo was the beneficiary of about $11 million in state grants and loans.
The term expired in 2015for MassCEC grant/loan to FloDesign of 2010. While, FloDesign changed their name to Ogin (of the Netherlands) in November of 2013. MassCEC terms required “FloDesign” to create or retain 150 jobs in Massachusetts. “…contingent on the company maintaining its corporate headquarters and primary R&D facility in Massachusetts, creating or retaining 150 jobs in the next three years (2013) and maintaining those jobs for an additional two years,(2015), according to the Patrick Administration.
During November of 2013 FloDesign changed their name to Ogin.
MassCEC then granted a share of $2.3 million grants to Ogin.
Flo-Design CFO Matthew Commons held several positions at Enron.

BUT WAIT---FLOWIND (SHROUDED TURBINE) AT ALTAMONT FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY IN 1997!

FLOWIND CORP. FILES FOR
BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION
FloWind Corp., a major wind plant operator based in San
Rafael, Calif., said in a statement that it has filed for
protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code due to "difficulties in liquidating its wind turbine
inventories or repowering or selling its wind power plants
in a timely fashion."
The company said it had accumulated an inventory of
components for the AWT-27 wind turbine (designed and
produced by a subsidiary, Advanced Wind Turbines, Inc.)
after receiving an order from customers in India, but that
the customers subsequently proved "unable to make required
payments.
"Subsequent attempts to sell this inventory to
alternative buyers have been frustrated by the absence of
international trade financing competitive with the
concessionary financing and trade support offered by foreign
competitors," the company said, adding, "Approximately 20
AWT turbines are operating in India and two in China. The
wind turbines are operating as warranted and are considered
reliable and cost-effective."
FloWind said it expects to use the balance of the AWT
inventory to supply turbines for the 25-MW wind project
planned by the Conservation and Renewable Energy System
(CARES), a consortium of several public utilities, in
Washington.
The company said it has attempted to sell its Tehachapi
wind plant in recent months, but has been unable to finalize
a sale.
It added, "Immediately prior to the Chapter 11 filing,
FloWind entered into a codevelopment arrangement with a
European turbine manufacturer and its construction partner
to fully develop its Altamont and Tehachapi wind power
plants. This arrangement is expected to be finalized over
the next 18 months.
"The repowering and sale of its existing California
wind power plants, with the aid and credibility of its
codevelopment partner, will allow FloWind to emerge as a
vital contributor to the international wind energy
community."
