* Bad news continues for Vestas. The Danish windmill producer Vestas is still suffering from dire quarterly figures and may be on the verge of a major round of layoffs. Despite posting revenues of over 7 billon kroner, high costs and an increase on staff have sent Vestas tumbling to a pre-tax deficite of 1.7 billion kroner. At the same time, debts have increased dramatically 2,275 billion kroner. However, the annual expectations at the windmill giant remain the same, between 48-60 billion kroner. Vestas' troubles have been well-documented. In 2008, before the financial crisis started to grip, Vestas' share price almost topped 700 kroner, but has since dropped to 46 kroner. It was only a few weeks ago that rumors surfaced that two Chinese competitors, Goldvin and Sinovel, were considering buying Vestas, a move that could possibly spell the end of windmill production in Denmark.
