New study says costly offshore wind farms worth the expense
By paulgreen
A new study has revealed that new designs in the wind sector could make offshore wind farms a viable option for renewable energy production.
The BusinessGreen study indicates that the development of floating wind turbines could allow for access to areas where water is deeper and winds remain stronger, thus more reliable. Wind energy’s biggest downfall in the past has been its unpredictability. However, now scientists at the Energy Technology Institute (ETI) claim that high-up front costs of such technology will be far outweighed by the benefits of such equipment.
