This underlines why I like the idea of having the wind farms offshore, and it looks as if it's being proven practical to float the wind turbines, which gives access to deeper waters that are farther offshore and have "primo" wind patterns—strong, steady winds that blow almost all day long, and the interruptions due to weather conditions are far more the exception than the rule.
I'm not saying that floating offshore wind is a "done deal" by any means, but I think it's trending very positively. Hardly a week goes by without my stumbling upon some new report of another investment or "move" in the floating offshore wind game. From all around the world.
I don't know that these onshore wind turbines in Norway are actually having an adverse effect on the "indies" (indigenous people) and their husbandry and herding of the reindeer that has traditionally been their sustenance—but I don't know that it's not.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 02-28-2023).]

Rinsey...nobody is stopping you and the rest of the nutbars from having wind farms...
Just go do it on your own money, on your own property.
Sure as hell wont be doing that stupidity on mine.
(DAMN, for once I agree with Greta. sheeeeetttttt  )[This message has been edited by MidEngineManiac (edited 02-28-2023).]

| quote | WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, at the inaugural Floating Offshore Wind Shot™ Summit, the Departments of Energy, the Interior, Commerce, and Transportation convened federal, state, Tribal, labor, industry, and community leaders to discuss significant progress toward development of floating offshore wind in the United States.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm kicked off the summit by affirming the goals of the Floating Offshore Wind Shot to drive U.S. leadership in floating offshore wind design, development, and manufacturing, reduce the costs of this technology by over 70% and deploy 15 gigawatts by 2035. She announced efforts to jumpstart West Coast offshore wind transmission planning and research and partnerships. . . . |
