Offshore wind power -- so yesterday!

 

It's silly to build these things as we enter an ice cycle.  You can have the blades dripping with ice as a huge storm hits them.  However, the cancellations have nothing to do with reality.  There is just no money in the world, as we head towards a recession, and we have squandered all the money on Chinese solar panels that are gathering dust in warehouses.

(every solar panel promotes slavery, and cuts off food production)

Since basic physics was thrown out the window the last 40 years or so, it is difficult to find philosophical solutions to a philosophical problem.  Windmills never turn when you are in a stagnant heat wave -- I go by a big wind farm all the time to the cottage -- they never turn!

Offshore is worse, because the towers are subject to exponential wind loads, and the maintenance becomes really difficult.  But, the money must be spent, and the influencers must get rich...

Note that on the above picture, the solar panels must steal from Peter to pay Paul.  The land is dead underneath them.

ps.  this is funny -- in order to survive typhoons, these things are in the Taiwan Str. and pack enough sensors to be a military threat...

pps.  and straight out of JBond, these things can turn to Taiwan, flare out and curve the props, and beam Cuban Embassy Death Rays straight at Taiwan, and any US ship that gets in the way.  :)
