Massachusetts Green Bubble Alert
ALERT: Mass Tank contracts with Goldwind of Xinjiang China
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's ambitious green energy plans, to become the nation's leader in renewable energy, is folly at the expense of rate and taxpayers who are funding and wading in green bubbles. Massachusetts is home to Evergreen Solar and Beacon Power that have both filed for bankruptcy and Boston Power that has moved to China.
Mass Green Bubble Alert aims to to expose crony capitalism and corporate welfare. In this context, Massachusetts has attracted the attention of the US House of Representatives investigating federal stimulus grants and loan guarantees to Massachusetts' Beacon Power and First Wind of Boston and their Kahuku Wind project in Hawaii.
The US House of Representatives blistering Report that speaks to politics driving MA green energy polices can be reviewed, here:

Goldwind’s situation harder. Six of the top ten shareholders disappeared from
