Wind Turbine Makers Struggle to Keep Up With Demand. By Erin Ailworth, BGlobe, October 8, 2008. "For all the talk about renewable energy and heated debates over the siting of wind turbines, the reality is the turbines can't be made fast enough to meet growing demand. As a result, projects are being delayed for up to two years. The problem is particularly acute in the United States, the world's fastest growing wind-power market. GE and Vestas Wind Systems, two of the world's leading turbine makers, say wind projects worldwide are being delayed by a lack of parts for the machines, which have about 9,000 components, including blades, computers, safety brakes, and an assortment of gears."
