Investopedia: A Slimmed-Down Vestas Hopes For More Than Just Survival

Investors didn't want to hear (or think) about it back in 2006-2008, but the renewable energy “revolution” has followed a pattern that is pretty familiar to most experienced investors, and left a great deal of debris in its wake.
