Subject: Skypower Senior Wind Analyst "not equipped with answers"


This comment was sent to the Skypower Obituary from the Senior Wind Analyst at SkyPower Corp. I can't believe she's making excuses!

I can appreciate the sentiments being aired in both the original article and the comments.

Unfortunately, the individuals responsible for project development, assessment, community relations, etc. within SkyPower (i.e., the mid-level doers) really do care about doing the right thing but are entangled in corporate matters beyond their control, not equipped with answers to pressing questions which come up during community consultation sessions, and not provided with sufficient information to adequately assess whether a project is truly appropriate i.e., the right place & size.

I believe that wind energy has a very important role to play in our future, but believe that it is best developed through grass-root cooperatives for their local needs i.e., distributed generation vs. large-scale centralized generation.
