Daily Mail Eulogise About Floating Wind Power–But Forget About The Cost

By Paul Homewood
An incredibly naive article in the Mail:
The secret to unlocking Britain’s clean energy future might be found in giant floating wind farms.
These enormous floating structures can reach up to 240 metres (787ft) in height – around the same size as a skyscraper.
And experts predict they could make up 10 per cent of the UK’s wind farms by 2030.
However, building an enormous tower designed to sit in high winds poses some significant engineering issues.
