Updates
October 3, 2012: LM wind power is taking its ball and going to a new field. Data points:
- the 300 jobs lost in North Dakota will be moved to Brazil, new factory
- wind farms in South America will start getting turbine blades in about a year
- the company says there is a strong growth in wind power in South America; just the opposite in North America
Link here to The Bismarck Tribune. Data points:
- LM Wind Power, Grand Forks, ND; company based in Denmark; a facility in GF since 1998
- layoff will affect 200 full-time, 130 temporary
- 270 people will still be employed; in 2007: 900 workers in the Grand Forks facility
- LM Wind Power says demand for new wind power development in the US will likely drop 70% in 2013
Things could change overnight if federal tax credit, which expires at end of year, is extended.
