Of course the cost of getting the power from the turbines to the grid means your monthly electrical bills, plus everything else you buy, will have to go up about 250% but HEY at least it will help “solve” the completely fictious problem of “man made global warming”

The lifespan of an offshore turbine is not going to be very long. Plus, keeping that many constantly maintained would be a logistics nightmare.My thoughts too - it might create 500,000 jobs for folks to maintain the equipment, quadruple the cost of electricity, make supply less reliable, and a bunch of other "benefits" that the Dims always ignore because the cause is so "pure".
