In a couple of decades, I think the North Sea is going have vast areas full of wind turbines.
- isostatic 9y agoOne of the only complaints about offshore wind is it "spoils the view". A 250m high turbine can be seen from about 30m away - dogger is twice that distance. Current plans are for 5GW of production, that's about 15% of the UK's current electricity demand, and more than is produced by the UK's wind farms in total. If successful I can't see anything stopping expansion to the initial planned 9GW, other than capital funding.
