Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Significant Risks and Uncertainties	Note 4. Significant Risks and Uncertainties Our revenues and receivables are earned from a small number of customers. As such, our production levels are dependent on these customers’ orders. See Note 15, Concentration of Customers. We may be required to reinstate temporary production suspensions or volume reductions at our manufacturing facilities to the extent there are new resurgences of COVID-19 cases in the regions where we operate or there is an outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases in any of our manufacturing facilities. The after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the current geopolitical situation, and economic environment, including with respect to inflation, continue to evolve and affect supply chain performance and underlying assumptions in various ways – specifically with volatility in commodity, energy, and logistics costs. There were both significant price increases and supply constraints during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the prior year comparative periods with respect to resin, fiberglass, and carbon fiber, which are key raw materials that we use to manufacture our products, as well as increases in logistics costs to obtain raw materials. We expect fiberglass, carbon fiber and related product supply will remain constrained. Production of fiberglass and carbon products is very energy intensive and although we are able to pass on a majority of cost increases to our customers, rising energy costs could continue to adversely impact cost of materials. If the supply of petroleum-based resin feedstocks and carbon fiber continue to be constrained and the prices for these raw materials remain elevated for an extended period of time, such constraints and elevated price levels could have a further material adverse impact on our results of operations. Although we believe that the onshore wind market will continue to grow over the long term, the expiration of the United States Production Tax Credit (PTC) at the end of 2021 and the lack of new policy or legislation has created uncertainty in the near term. We are monitoring legislative and regulatory policy proposals to extend or expand tax credits and other programs in the United States to promote wind energy. We maintain our United States (U.S.) cash in bank deposit and money market accounts that, at times, exceed U.S. federally insured limits. U.S. bank accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in an amount up to $250,000 during 2022 and 2021. U.S. money market accounts are not guaranteed by the FDIC. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $95.2 million and $165.4 million, respectively, of cash in bank deposit and money market accounts in U.S. banks, which were in excess of FDIC limits. We have not experienced losses in any such accounts. We also maintain cash in bank deposit accounts outside the U.S. with no insurance. At June 30, 2022, this included $12.5 million in China, $39.3 million in Turkey, $4.9 million in India, $2.4 million in Mexico and $0.7 million in other countries. As of December 31, 2021, this included $25.9 million in China, $42.6 million in Turkey, $5.7 million in India, $2.1 million in Mexico and $0.5 million in other countries. We have not experienced losses in these accounts. In addition, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had short-term deposits in interest bearing accounts in the U.S. of $8.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, which are reported as restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
