“A mild breeze in Europe”
Handelsblatt
European wind power companies are in danger of being overrun by competitors from Asia – as was the case with the solar industry, writes Franz Hubik in an opinion piece in Handelsblatt. Research and development (R&D) efforts become more important as there is little to improve in terms of size and general functioning of wind turbines, according to Hubik: “Now, it would be time to invest in innovation. But the opposite is happening” as R&D budgets were comparably small for European companies, he writes.
