Ted,
A little search and I found this: 'as a source to sell and market
carbon dioxide and all other bundled environmental attributes which are
expected to be generated from the production of renewable energy at
WindStor(SM) installations.'
One of the sneaky things about wind turbines is since they are 'green' industries get 'credits' for generating capacity and can then use more coal and oil fired capacity on the CAPACITY, not the actual output of the mills. There are windfarms which are well over the capacity of the infrastructure to distribute what they produce. Still, the owners get 'credit' and are able to sell those green credits to other industries. Those 'other industries' can continue to polute because there is green capacity offsetting their polution. I have a well-founded suspicion the credits are more valuable than the electricity generated.
If I were playing craps, I'd bet the project is a scam on 'environmental attributes' tied to the 'expected' generation. If the product does work, that will be a bonus.
I still don't think the product is 5 years old or has anywhere near 95% uptime.
