Just curious, but with the current US downgrade, are European investors shunning solar, wind, and fuel cell projects in the U.S.?

Generally US and green energy do not go well, to much bureaucrazy and less public money available

just done one in Greece with Niseag, worked well after the usual hick ups, but we got the money together, did cost a penny but worked, needed only 1M Euro, but since Greek Banks do not lend we had to find the money

I'm debating whether to float a corporate bond on 100 MW of Eastern European solar farms.
Licenses, feed-in tariff already in place.

you will have to secure the payment mechanism They have several owned and operated solar projects but these projects were financed at 12% interest. I almost would prefer to refinance. We ran into 175 MW of solar farms (3 individual farms of 100, 48, and 27 MW's )with feed-in tariffs at 28 cents Euro. That's double, almost triple, what we can make in the U.S. Licenses, permits, feed-in tariff already in place. I mean, creating a large bond, 10-year, 7% interest is almost a relief. I'm trying to figure out whether to do one $300 M Euro bond or three smaller $100 Million Euro bonds.
