It is very cool someone is working to address this problem rather than pretending it doesn't exist. Now we also need to discover a solution to a problem of turbine blades lasting much less than their design life in a marine environment (especially when freezing weather is common). Allegedly many blades fail after few years rather than expected 15~25. Unfortunately, there isn't even any published research showing real life numbers. How can we address a problem when we don't even know how serious is it?

Perform a quick google search and you'll see mainstream press coverage of researchers and entrepreneurs have been working on the problem and also collecting data for quite some time. > Allegedly many blades fail after few years rather than expected 15~25 [Citation required]. Unless you're referring to leading edge damage, which has already been determined to largely be caused by excessive speed during heavy precipitation, and thus can be controlled: https://wes.copernicus.org/articles/3/729/2018/ https://wes.copernicus.org/articles/3/729/2018/ I'm so tired of people trying to 'gotcha' green energy.
