You are coming into the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) at a time when the industry is facing a lot of headwinds.

I always work best in headwinds. I think maybe the wind sector has been a little too prudent in Europe. Up to around two years ago, it was viewed very favourably. Suddenly other energy sectors have discovered wind has become one of the big players in the class, involving around 238,000 jobs in Europe.
