The Fascinating Process of Installing Billions $ Wind Farms in Middle of the Ocean

Welcome back to the FLUCTUS channel for a discussion about how wind turbines are installed in the middle of the sea, how they’re assembled, and how they’re moved from the factory to the farm.

    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.

Its all about money which many turbine owners get subsidies for and is taken from your electric bills.

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.
