Offshore wind is expensive and has never made money, even in Europe.
The maintenance is a nightmare.
We tried this off the coast of DE in one the most consistently windy spots on the planet 7 miles offshore.
The numbers did not work.
Also, without a way to store the energy to release it to the grid on a steady basis, the vagaries of output play havoc on the grid operators.
You still need back-up power sources.
Agreed. Wind is essentially fuel savings for Natural Gas Turbines. You still need to build the load capacity.
