Wind Energy Label

In the span of one week, the announcement for the first-ever wind energy label to help consumers identify how a product is made coincided with the program’s architects being awarded the world’s most prestigious clean energy prize. Both a new initiative and a new trustmark, WindMade™ is the brainchild of Denmark-based Vestas, the largest wind power producer. Just before headlines began circulating, The Daily Beast spoke with its Senior Vice President, Morten Albaek about how the WindMade team of founding partners is set to make its swirling blue mark on the world.
