For decades, the trend in offshore wind farms was to build larger towers with larger blades at increasing distance from the shore.
An other risk that seems to materialize is when they implode because of tempest they release a fulload of fiberglass in imploding. Class action could be monstruous if it happens to often
Just build nuclear plants ffs
Correct :-)
I do not know the relevant factors, but speculate they include:
(1) The cost of ‘wiring up’ windmills to the National Grid
(2) Whether we can develop batteries to store a large amount ready to be released when supply is low and demand higher
(3) The cost of alternative generation and wiring it in e.g. Solar panels, Nuclear
It may be that Gas power generation is needed for some years.
Government must assess the above and allocate resources, encouraging private capital.
