“I couldn’t build this in Canada,” Mr. MacLellan said. “Germany is a very high-quality environment for us. I have nothing to worry about.”
Arise couldn’t build the plant in Canada because the level of financial incentives, engineering and construction expertise and general awareness of the growth potential of renewable energy simply don’t exist there.
How sad is that first statement? Pretty damn sad if you ask me.
And the happy part:
Enter Germany. The ever-so-generous Germans tracked him down and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse – free money, and lots of it – as long as Arise promised to build a PV factory on German soil. The German love-fest even came with flowers for Mr. MacLellan’s wife, Cathy.
Read a great story in the Globe and Mail.
