Wind power industry

That was really interesting.

We were visiting the offshore wind industry, which is one of Europe's exit ramps out of the Russian gas.

So more on that later today, but we're going to get into that as well.

Also, this week, we had Ursula von der Leyen, 2016 State of the Union speech.

So the economic impact of disinformation campaigns.

I think that lately energy prices themselves have become an attractive target for these Russian information warfare strategies.

And going back to this trip we made a couple of weeks ago to the Baltic Sea, of course, we were visiting not just the fact, I mean, we were visiting different places where the wind industry in Poland is thriving.

We went to an offshore wind park, which was missing, but we also saw the place where these turbines are being built.

India is building its own turbine factories, and the countries buying wind power want it built at home.

For professionals in the wind industry, the competitive edge is shifting.

It's not just who can build the best turbine.

It is who can build it locally, recycle it fully, and inspect it without putting a person in a harness.

Very interesting times.

And that's the state of the wind industry for the 7th of September, 2026.

Please join us for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast tomorrow.
