Vestas breaks the Grinch Rule
Some of the Danish windmill company's Colorado workers just learned they are having their hours cut back. They'll collect partial unemployment, but some say they'd be better if they were outright laid off, as many Vestas employees already have been. "If they'd rather die, then they had better do it and decrease the surplus population."
Vestas maintains a sales and service office in Portland, in a posh Pearl District owned by a Mark Edlen firm and heavily subsidized by state and city taxpayers. Your tax dollars creating a thriving, new, green economy. Downright vibrant.

That vibrant green is used to blind the believers.

Correction, it's not a "sales and service office in Portland," it's the North American headquarters.

I sure hope this doesn't impact their payments on that $10M 0% interest loan from PDC.

Steve - I'm waiting for the news story, "Wait, that was a loan?"

Vibrant Green ... has a nice ring to it. Could it be the sequal to Soylent Green right here in Portlandia?
