They're the blades which kill the birds.

How do they get from the airport to the wind farm? Or will each wind farm have an airport?

“Designed by the Colorado-based energy company Radia”
I hope their employees are a diverse bunch.

“Today’s largest wind turbines and the even larger ones of the future cannot be transported to prime onshore wind farms via ground infrastructure,”
No kidding. I was visiting Glacier National Park last summer and saw one of those oversized rigs with a turbine blade pulled off to the side of the road on the approach to Going-to-the-Sun road. Which has a max vehicle length limitation of 22'. Someone made a wrong turn...
A few years earlier I was going up I-25 north of Casper, WY, and saw another such rig on the off-ramp. At a glimpse I could see their problem: They couldn't make the turn onto the side road because of a light pole on one side and some fencing on the other. Evidently they forgot to scout things out.

The wing loading seems excessive.

Is it one of those huge, cloud-like airships they talk about building?

Just what I was going to say. The left that acts like its concerned about wildlife wants to put up giant bird blenders.

With the short wings, the V2 speed will be around 300kts to get airborne.

every once in a while I see an Antanov, those things are just ginormous.
as far as the Skytanic, it is a bad idea they should instead use a blimp that way they don’t have to land and they can drop the blades and towers at the site where they want to build. and yes of course they should use hydrogen

I wonder what the carbon footprint of transporting those blades around is.

How can they justify the carbon footprint of a beast that YUGE when the entire raison d'être of the windmill is reducing carbon emissions?
To: Libloather
Well, the Dem/comz are letting the chycommz fly balloons all over the US. While they are at it they as well have them move turbine blades by using bigger balloons.
