Building an offshore wind turbine in the middle of the sea for $10 million

I’ve seen the turbine blades up close and it’s astonishing as to how big they are. They were being manufactured at a plant not far from my home and every now and then you would see one on a very long flatbed

Great video! I just wish you could reference metric units instead of random imperial units such as feets, NFL fields and Statues of Liberty.

Yes, Norway has the largest share of hydro in Europe. So the story here is, what kind of racket is underway that would have it investing in hard to maintain offshore wind turbines, with marine power cables landing here and there, with blades that go in landfills, with non dispatch-able power, unlike its hydro.

Saltwater issues alone would be a major problem, and don’t these turbines need blades replaced in these environments more often?

Thanks to Mr. Putin who accelerated the transition from fossile to renewable, Renewables are the big, massive job creating and feasible business today and onwards

Is the cost of cables and additional infrastructure included in that cost? I mean, building a 10$ million windturbine can’t deliver anything if it isn’t hooked up to a electric grid somewhere and that cost alot and for seabased alot more of money, 10× or even 20× more than landbased and it’s the consumer that has to pay for it!
