Daily Mail Eulogise About Floating Wind Power–But Forget About The Cost
MARCH 26, 2024
 
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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
