Multi-Millions Gone With The Wind in Massachusetts That Installed Known Stolen Technology
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!
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-great-brain-robbery-china-cy...;
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 million while Ian Bowles served as Advisor to FloDesign and 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 2015 for 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.

FloDesign Wind Turbine is as of November 2013 Ogin, Inc.
You will automatically be redirected to our new site - www.oginenergy.com - in 5 seconds.
So, during November of 2013 FloDesign changed their name to Ogin. And, MassCEC (Bowles) then granted "a share of" $2.3 million to Ogin.
FloDesign Inc., and FlowDesign Wind Turbine Corp., Massachusetts Foreign Corporation(s) with a name change during November of 2013 to “Ogin Inc.” based in the Netherlands; and, New Dimension Energy Company, LLC (NDEC) a California Foreign Limited Liability Company (LLC) and subsidiary of Ogin, Inc.
So, WE funded shrouded wind turbine intellectual property now owned by Montenegrin.
While Ogin Intellectual Property is listed in the “Official Gazette of the Montenegrin Intellectual Property Office’ 2014/15. http://www.ziscg.me/doc/Glasnik_15.pdf

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."

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
