Built in America, for America!
I love seeing those on the highway loaded up in the trucks.... makes my little saturn sedan seem like a hotwheels
If it's for a Vestas wind turbine, they make those up in Windsor. They are why the price of balsa is going up! They are opening up a new plant for the nacelle (hub/generator stuff) in Brighton soon. My friend just got hired there. Seems like they are growing and hiring big right now, in case people are looking for jobs.

Great!
Now the speculators are gona have a run on Balsa and wind! 🙁
I always watch the wind farms hoping to see one of those go flying off the turbine...... 😛 Now THAT would be cool to see. 😈
I wonder if they are dual or single deploy.
I got stuck for 15 minutes yesterday in Ft. Collins. Waitin for T Boone Pickens slow train too the wind farm to get out of the way. 🙄 Musta been 30-40 blades on that train.
Theres your future Greg, You and T Boone.
Oh and I told you So!
Anyone on the forum work at Vestas or know someone there?
They are one of the few local companies hiring these days.
I have a good friend who just started there a couple months ago. Not many openings there for what I do, but I'd be happy to put resumes in through him. He sits near the HR person. I hear they pay well, too. Dig through their online careers section and let me know if you want me to put you in touch.

My wife and I applied there and there was nothing for us, but quite exciting what they are doing.

I applied also and went to the gathering in Brigthon in October. No word yet. I should re-apply with my new resumes. Will do that tomorrow. The thing about the meeting(s) is that it is for THIS year and beyond. I have an electronics and business background. Warren, IT is the place to be. If that were my training, I would have been employed the next day. Trust me on that.
A friend of Jeremiah and I's works for the company that casts the plastic housings for the generators. I don't know where the plant is, but he said the units are all made in the USA. BTW, they are working on a plastic Keg for Miller/Coors. Pretty funny....
