China inaugurates world's largest floating wind turbine
(Portuguese language article)
> Range is equivalent to seven football fields

Is there an engineer in the house?
It feels like floating offshore wind could quite quickly get cheaper than fixed. All assembly is onshore meaning cheaper labour and equipment costs and more options for process improvement etc. OTOH, needs more material per turbine? Limit on turbine size?
Is it currently more expensive simply because its newer?
Am I missing something?
Such idiocy: “Ports around the country hoped to seize the economic opportunity to become hubs for the wind industry. Under the Biden administration, 12 port projects from California to Virginia were granted funds, all of which the Trump administration said on Friday it was either withdrawing or cancelling.” 🤬

You can see how much our #renewables like hydro and #WindEnergy contribute. Right now, since demand is lower overnight, we're 100% clean (some of our clean energy comes from nuclear) and that's even after exporting about 20% of our electricity.
