Windmill means these machines are creating flour, the correct term is wind turbines.

Correct. They aren't in the 'middle of the ocean either'. I am heavily involved in building UK wind farms.
Like it or not, the work it takes to create such an immense scale of windmills and turbine’s is very impressive!! An engineering marvel!

Thank you for sharing this
Love to see more educational videos about the possible benefits of offshore wind - floating and fixed - but would hope accuracy would improve. The Kincardine project off the coast of Aberdeen uses the Principal Power semi-submersible platform, which has 3 vertical elements above the water surface, with tower attached at one of these vertices, and a connecting pontoon structure beneath the surface. Lots of the footage being reported as from the Kincardine deployment is actually using the Stiesdal TetraSpar, which was deployed off the coast of Norway at a test site.

Some years ago, somebody thought of using tidal energy to generate electricity for New York City. They put a turbine in the East River (a tidal estuary with some strange currents). The tide immediately destroyed it.

windmills were used to mill grains down on the farm away back a few 100 years ago.......and sometime even after their popularity was dramatically reduced in the 19th and 20th century with the arrival of *steam and electrically* powered machines, *Windmills* were primarily used to mill grains or pump water, and *wind turbines* are used to generate electricity.

Windmills at sea do not turn faster than those on land. The speed is limited to design standards and gear ratios.
Not 100s of years ............... People have been using wind energy for thousands of years By 200 BC, simple wind-powered water pumps were used in China, and windmills with woven-reed blades were grinding grain in Persia and the Middle East.

I like the idea but hate these constructions. The blades to these turbines are made from approx. 6 tons of chemicals, resins and fibre glass. People used to complain of the electric pylons and now there are hundreds and more everyday of the these turbine windparks, what a mess and eyesore. Its all about money which many turbine owners get subsidies for and is taken from your electric bills.

You know they won't. By the time they may have produced any sensible amount of energy...they'll need fixing and updating...at the cost of millions and burning a lot of oil.

@@jaycweingardt11 Well I don't think it is possible to go 100% nuclear. There is the friction of travel for electricity transportation along lines. The plants need to be close to the people for this to be economically feasible. In the gulf more and more hurricanes will continue to cause more and more damage as ocean surface temps continue to warm up. On the West coast, mainly California, there are the risk of earthquakes and getting Fukushima'd. Hard to build nuclear plants in those areas yet that is where a significant portion of our population is based. If a bunch of wind fans get blown away that doesn't really impact the surrounding environment and population of residents nearly as much as a reactor meltdown.

@ardee Zadeng Because it's clear that those turbines won't produce enough energy to compensate even for the one used to install them, ever! Plus the "carbon footprint " from making, installing and fixing them in 3 years. It's absurd, it doesn't make any good to the environment at the end of the day and wastes resources.
And how many years will it take before you start making an actual profit once you paid off all the costs and expenses of installation? What about when a big freighter comes through there because the pilots drunk and he cleans up half those Farms? That's one way of spending good money piss poorly and getting a very very minimal return and I'm not even an accountant! JUST SAYING! 🤔🤔

Its like saying "What happens if some drunk guy drives into an oil rig?" except that would be 1000x more catastrophic and we have been running that risk for the past 60 years. All of the sudden now drunk ship drivers are a problem? Yeah, sounds like the propaganda has you good m'boy.
