Projects often don't move as fast as the entrepreneur wishes, but that is i guess the reality of a Wind Energy Turbine being pretty invasive in some cases. In North-America Community Wind is the fastest growing segment because of the money/incentives available and also the 'manageable' budgets/investments that are needed. Energy prices are expected to go up so the ROI will be quicker. You might want to check out an interesting Web Conference (25+ speakers) about everything related to Community Wind on 26, 27 May is here: www.greenenergyconferences.com A lot of speakers talking about ownership as well including Hepburn Community Wind Park, Australia's first Commmunity Owned Wind Farm.
