That’s one hell of a sea bird chopper.
I wonder what the speed at the point of the blade can reach?

So, how much do these cost and what percentage would they be “off grid” (I.e., not spinning)?

Well at least the fish will get fed a new source of protein from birds. Wonder how well those big blades will do with lightening strikes and fierce storms.

There’s going to be a Fast Food McSeaGull opening right underneath it.

China is beating us in nearly every technology. 10-15 years from now we will be their slaves.

And when they are done, you have to chop up the blades and bury them in the sand.
Hazardous materials.
Non-recyclable.,

242 meter diameter, with blades of 118 meters. If the wind is around 35 mph, or around 56 m/hr the tip of the blade is at ludicrous speed...

Someone please tell me what one does with the turbine blades after their useful life span. My understanding is that they cannot be recycled or reused, they can only bury them in large pits where they will stay for thousands of years, but hey, it’s “clean energy”, right?

Nonsense. Those Chinks can only steal technology and reverse engineer it.

“...capable of powering 20,000 homes per unit over a 25-year service life.”
Wouldn’t bet my life on that.
Wouldn’t even bet a good hamburger.

It’s about how you feel, not actual facts.

I bet there is no discussion of “social justice” math or other stem type classes. I also bet that engineering students in China spend very little time if any on CRT.

There are dozens around Lansing, MI and they are an eyesore.
