Sif, the Netherlands-based steel fabricator that won the contract to make the 84 monopile foundations for Vineyard, warned investors in August of a potential financial hit from the project’s delay. They don’t even make what we’re supposed to pay for, here! “This delay…I took it very personally,” said Jason Folsom, director of U.S. sales at MHI Vestas and a market veteran, speaking at the Boston conference this week. Gee, Jason. No one I know cares about what you feel! The RODA people might, though.
Time to tell these foreign owned companies coming to our shores to destroy our fishing grounds to take a F’n hike. Enough with this bullshit already.
