Windpower 2009 Conference and Exhibition - Day Two
It probably is a four mile walk to see every exhibit in the convention hall at Windpower 2009 in Chicago. There are 20,000 people here, which is 10 times the population of my hometown of Arcade, New York. The sheer size and scope can be overwhelming. But it is also encouraging. In this difficult economy, the enthusiasm and capital directed at wind energy continues to grow exponentially. There is no economic gloom and doom to be heard. People here see the recession as a bump in the road to our inevitable clean energy future. The collective enthusiasm is infectious and makes me glad to be involved in this industry.
