Wind Farm Company Shuts Factory in Oz

The world's largest wind turbine manufacturer is shutting down a factory in Australia and pulling out of the country at the end of the year, according to Australian reports.

Danish company Vestas has said it will shut down its blade manufacturing plant at Portland in the state of Victoria, resulting in 130 job losses.

Australian commentators say the closure will raise serious concerns about the viability of the Australian wind industry.
