Beating Swords Into Plowshares, And Building LNG Tanks Out Of Wind Turbine Towers

Updates

September 6, 2013: a reader was nice enough to send the news story related to the post below. Thank you. The Jamestown Sun is reporting:
The company that took over DMI Industries — a wind turbine plant located here — has reopened the plant to manufacture containers for energy-related products.
Dallas-based Trinity Industries told city leaders the West Fargo plant now will produce containers that can hold 100,000 gallons of products such as water, propane or anhydrous.
The West Fargo plant has been open for the past six weeks with about 40 employees on the job. The first product was shipped from the plant last week.
The company plans to grow to more than 75 employees in the coming months, said Mark Vaux, West Fargo economic development director in a statement.

I can't make this stuff up. How times change.

Remember the old DMI manufacturing plant in Fargo, making the tall cylindrical towers for wind farms? Owned by Otter.

Anyway, apparently they are building tanks for pressurized LNG to sell to China in that Fargo facility. One of the original posts regarding the closure of the DMI plant was here. My how times change.

This post is based on very fragmentary information; there may be errors. Here's another link but haven't found a press release, etc.
