That is why we were talking about the strength of the floating structure that holds up the masts. It is an "innovation" to allow actually tapping the steady persistent strong wind corridors offshore. I am well aware of that but my response didn't concern the best sites it was about the perceived use of land for onshore turbines which is massively over estimated because the land around the turbine can still be farmed. In regard to Offshore the wind farm provides a refuge for fish from the most damaging fishing methodologies - trawling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
