Ever wonder why we even bother? I woke up today, staring at the ceiling fan (naturally wind-powered), questioning life, my choices, and why I didn’t just stay in bed. Speaking of pointless efforts, let's talk about the wind industry after Trump’s victory.
Once upon a not-so-breezy time in Colorado, Vestas Wind Systems was practically collecting dust, with "next to no orders." Might as well have been selling ice to Eskimos. But then, oh sweet irony, the Biden stimulus came through like an unexpected gust, and bam! Factories pumping faster than my anti-anxiety meds on a Monday morning.
But don’t uncork your champagne yet. Despite this whirlwind of activity, Trump's win poses a cocktail of dread and confusion. Will these breezes of change stick or just pass through like my will to live on a family Thanksgiving?
The wind sector has been like my mood swings – volatile and unpredictable. In the early 2020s, companies like Vestas rocked harder than a heavy metal concert, beaten by the pandemic and burdened by money-gorging contracts. What a time to be alive – or barely.
So, as I ponder yet again whether to laugh or cry (a daily conundrum), consider the wind industry: full of sound and fury, signifying, well, I'll let you decide. And here’s a thought: maybe dying alone isn’t too bad if it's sans the noise of unsustainable turbines. At least that's one less whir I'd have to endure in the abyss.
