Europe never had that luxury. Offshore wind is our only option.
- edrxty 3y agoYeah I've seen the central US wind farms and they're absolutely ginormous. We should do offshore too but we aren't lacking in wind turbines, we're just putting them in different places.
- jacquesm 3y agoYou want them in as much diverse locations as possible so that you're somewhat protected against outages due to weather or natural disasters.
- codingclaws 3y agosimcity baby!
- jacquesm 3y agoNah, just common sense. Never played sim city but it is nice to hear they put that kind of realism in the game.
- occz 3y ago>Europe never had that luxury. Offshore wind is our only option. This kind of depends on where in Europe. The North of Sweden (i.e the top 2/3 of the country) is very sparsely populated, and well-suited for installing on-shore wind power. NIMBYs keep on NIMBYing though, and many projects get killed because of their protesting.
- teamonkey 3y agoLoads of inland wind farms in the UK as well as offshore. Restricting yourself to offshore wind is a choice, not a necessity.
