DESCRIPTION:Winton teatime discussion hosted by Jim Platts\, Institute of 
 Manufacturing\, who has worked in industry and academia for a combined tot
 al of nearly 50 years in the area of design\, development and manufacture 
 of the large composite moulded blades for wind turbines.\n\nThe discussion
  with revolve around how an industry grows based on the assumption that co
 mpletely unexpected problems always arise that threaten its long term viab
 ility.  In the enthusiasm of a rapidly growing and seemingly very successf
 ul industry like the global wind industry\, these problems can be not mere
 ly missed but actively ignored.  But it is fatal to do so.  There are thin
 gs that concern the industry's sustainability that need attention.\n\nRefr
