Personally i pitty those with no foresight (although i also must thank you) in to this promising company $BLDW.

On a per-unit basis, the portion of small wind turbine sales
receiving funding assistance increased from less than
5% during 2001-2009 to more than 10% during 2010.
Of grid-connected small wind turbines, which comprised
more than two-thirds of all 2010 small wind unit sales, more
than 30% on a per-unit basis received some form of federal,
state or local funding assistance.
The average size of U.S. small wind turbines receiving
funding assistance in 2010 increased to 14 kW, up from
an average of 10 kW for turbines funded during 2001-2009.
This compares to the national average turbine size of
3.3 kW for small wind turbines sold in 2010 and 1.3 kW
sold during 2001-2009. Average small wind funding levels
increased 16% on a capacity basis and 57% on a per-unit
basis, compared to average funding levels during
2001-2009, to $2.45 per Watt and $34,000 per turbine.
Grants and loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
(USDA’s) Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) and U.S.
Treasury 1603 payments together funded 250 small wind
installations totaling 6.8 MW in 30 states. Projects in Iowa,
Ohio, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and Nebraska collected
more than three-fourths of this $13.7 million (see Figure 10).



I see this movement and company for what it is...THE WAY OF THE FUTURE. How many are involved in BLDW and ARE NOT aware that fossil fuels and nuclear power (although efficent) are NOT the way that our society is leaning? We can't afford (as a planet) to keep using fossil fuels and we can't rely just on solar (lack of efficency) nor Water (hydrokinetics is not efficent either). Has anyone even done proper DD (sorry for the few that have, you know who you are)? If you would, you will see that WIND ENERGY is by far the fastest growing of the renewables. WHY? cause it's WHAT WE NEED, NO EMISSIONS, NO FUELS OR DAILY MAINTNANCE (Like nuclear) NO WONDERING IS THAT WIND WILL BLOW HARD ENOUGH, NO COMPLEX MECHANISMS.....
GET WITH IT, sorry for my rant but, as i said this is a very real concern that spreads way further than just stock or BLDW and frankly, I will eat up what i can at prices like this. BUT, it's because it's obvious to me and to others and too MAJOR researchers/governments/popullations that is our best chance at becoming an efficent/abundant/clean world that won't be destroyed by 2070 and won't have dried aquifers and a crap atmosphere, poluted waters, oil spills, etc etc etc.
Sorry if i got a little "green" for a second but, it doesn't take much digging to see that BLDW is in the right industry at the right time with the right tech/capabilities, the right management, the right contacts and the right motives.
