Dear President Trump, please do not let them close this plant. It is strategically important to our nation. Find a way to help them keep this running. Any other country would subsidize this business until it was strong enough to stand on its own! We need to save turbine plants!

Where is the rest of the story? Why the layoffs? Let me guess, the Trump admin eliminated incentives.
-
When government incentives are be only thing keeping it running, yea that might be the case.
-
$3.4M over 10 years (or even 1 year) for a major Corp is a drop in the bucket. It’s hardly what I’d call “keeping it running”. I’d hate to think they stopped manufacturing wind turbans in Iowa because of that. BTW oil companies receive large tax cuts/incentives.
-
Yessir those are cuts and incentives because it’s an industry our country relies on and is profitable. Wind Power is almost completely government subsidies. Many countries who are considered greener than ours have all but scrapped theirs.
-
If an industry is profitable it does not need cuts and incentives. Renewable energy is still in its infancy but is quite profitable world wide. Greener countries have not scrapped their initiatives. They are doubling down on investing in clean energy and will be better for it.
-
If it as profitable as you claim why does it need to be subsidized? Windmills have been around for over 200 years which I would hardly call infancy. Also as a person that lives in the heart of Windmill Country, guess what lubricates those turbines to go round? Answer: Oil
-
Really that’s your logic? How about batteries and solar which has been around since the beginning of time? It’s the efficiency of capturing and storing energy that’s in its infancy. Over time that will improve and the cost of energy will get lower than oil - which will run out.
-
Countries and states are pushing forward with renewable energy because its clean, endless and the costs are decreasing over time. Oil pollutes the world and will eventually run out over time. There is no downside to renewable energy.
