Energy is also getting more expensive:?ConEd's rate hike was approved?in NY, so customers'?bills could double.

Allen and Joel see some of the?big OEMs slowing down?to make improvements. GE Vernova says it's streamlining its portfolio and?focusing on quality, echoing some things we've heard from?Siemens?and?Vestas. So when should we see changes?

Listen for Joel's?CliffsNotes on Geothermal.)?The 20 turbines at our?Wind Farm of the Week, in Kansas, have been?online since 2009.??Flat Ridge 1 is currently upgrading to Vestas equipment, and plans to recycle its old Clipper blades.
