Building $10 Million Offshore Wind Turbine in Middle of the Sea

Thay will send us broke but thats wha they want

Thay are shit

The life span of the turbines have been completely mis understood. They were originally intended to last for 15 years, but the reality is around 5 years.
Maintenance costs for repair are huge ($1m per turbine) and weather conditions prevent access.
The economics of wind energy are crashing and investors are losing money and pulling out. The entire industry is supporting by government subsidies and without it wouldn’t happen.
The other major issue is the defence and security. A foreign power could destroy the infrastructure in minutes.
Last but not least is that the wind is not constant and we have no way of storing the energy. Currently the UK backup energy storage facility for can provide energy for just 12 minutes.
The whole thing is a grift…

I blade is 300ft? Is that a mistake?

Climate Change is a Hoax!!!!!

Ha! Mother nature will take them out pretty quickly!Let's see what happens when she gets angry. Also i want to see the effects of the salt water air on all those components. Servicing them will be a bitch!

Why not supply wind from sea to turbines to generate more electricity
inside main land from pipe line from sea. to turbines blades .
How wind is form and create it and supply to turbines .

Oh yeah windmills are the answers. As long as you don’t mind dead birds and sea life. As long as you don’t mind never achieving anything close to “carbon neutrality”. What it takes in terms of energy to mine the materials needed, move these gigantic parts across the world, keep them running, and then dismantle, move, and hopefully recycle them makes it a certainty they will never be “carbon neutral” or a wise investment.

yet we have no way of dealing with the turbine wastes. ie what happens when it is replaced.

power the world? I think only if the human consumption of electricity was 20% of what it is now. IMO.

" this makes them a Logical investements" - Its not logical- Its killing zillions of insekts and birds.- Wind turbines are installed in routes where birds are emigrating from parts of the world to others. They release tons of microplastic and plastic in the ocean. Land turbines are located in parts where there are no roads, meaning they have to take down old forests to get huge roads to transport em to the spot. Pouring 1000 of tons of concrete to make a foot for the huge monster. In norway and other nordic countries these heavy beasts get snow and iced. what happens when it unbalanced, well the turbines get damage. So they need to send in helicopters to spray antifreeze on the blads. These antifreeze get in the nature and oceans. Windturbine is not a logical investment if you care about the nature. If you sell turbines, then its another story, cause you can make money on this shitty product.

Hello Sister Nice

Isn't the sea breeze and water corrosive to the turbine machines. And and also the humidity attack the electronics

This is nonsensical, I doubt there is any tangible return on investment.

Nice video

COME ON TSUNAMI

I'm moving this is going to be a disaster when hurricane hits no electricity for while..this is so stupid

How about the people that make these machines htf do you even start thinking about what materials are needed and where they go etc bind blowing

Every few days we hear about whales being washed up on the shores of New York and New Jersey because of this s***. Where are the environmentalists on that?

Windmills are a massive extortion racket to take taxpayer money. Without heavy subsidy, they don't actually make any economical sense. The manufacturers and operators (of which there are few) are laughing all the way to the bank.

these massive complexes are killing whales and god knows what else, all in the name protecting our planet. When are people going to wake up?

Good 👍👍

China and India build a coal fired plant every week and we actually think wind turbines will stem global warming. We are Lemmings looking for a cliff to plunge off. There is nothing we can do to alter global warming at this point.

I'm all for expanding the renewable energy systems. Not because I believe it's "Green" though. That's just propaganda. The key word is renewable. The problem is that the construction, maintenance and waste associated with renewable energy isn't green at all. So whenever it's packaged and sold as being a "green" alternative I just cringe.

It is a dystopian scheme for navies to restrict global trade since Hitler and Stalin both had offshore gun platforms for their Coast Guard.

Ok I admit that I mostly let Foxnews and conservative news inform me on wind power issues. That said the video is good because it's honest. The fact that Norway gets 95% of its electricity from hydro even when having massive wind projects is very sobering. But don't let this burden you when you push that button to vote up some comment having calculations because it shows intelligence? Don't bother to read the comment about the Texas blackout last winter either.
But wait, just give me a couple minutes more. I promise I won't disappoint.
So burning fossil fuel causes climate change but removing energy from the atmosphere won't? In what physical system produces this win-win situation? One single turbine generates enough electricity for 3,300 or 11,000 homes depending on whichever figure you believe. Don't you think those tiny droplets of water won't get pushed far on land as they used to be? Remember, we're talking about electric power. Actual wind kinetic power lost to turbines is another matter. You don't think this will make inland area a bit drier, more susceptible to wildfires? This is not changing the climate at all? Multiply the figures by hundreds of turbines. Still no change?

Yeah and there’s another program out there that outlines what a servicing nightmare these things are too.

What a huge wast of money. BTW, they leak oil.

الله اكبر

لا اله الا الله

The major undiscussed problem with wind power is the reduction in wind. Wind is crucial for many important atmospheric processes and converting it to electricity will have severe consqeuences.

What a colossal waste of money.

Using what God gave us for free to benefit people for a price. Gotta love engineering .Better than burning coal .

you all are stupid. No such issue.... Wind farms kills wildlife more then any oil spill has

Who pays for these? Hope it is not the taxpayer

The UK, CHINA, AND GERMANY are turning off grids when wind and solar CAN'T maintain the needs of a country's energy supply!!! This is propaganda to the fullest!!!!

I think that using the old technology to charge the old clocks at the bottom of the turbine in producing energy from the tides in the sea to support the air fan, i.e. from the bottom to the top, i.e. the energy production will be double. It will achieve a leap in development and the optimal and effective use of the turbine energy production. Greetings, I only ask you to pray Your brother from Mesopotamia, thank you

much better wind turbine design out there.....The old propeller version is not the most efficient.

how are they seriously talking about the cost benefit?! its been known now for a long long time wind energy is one of the cheapest forms of energy full stop. green or fossil fuel.

This is so stupid, 12 years lifetime, 18% energy producing time and HUGE cost to wire this up to electricity network, special equipment to do the service, huge environment issue if the 200L oil get a leakage... and people want this...…flat earth society ?

is power gen return this much back?

No wonder jobot and stays on the phone with China he is been selling out of America for a long long time

China is getting rich off of everybody this is got to come down in God please come down and show the world you are in control of the weather not man

Why should we invest and give up our fossil fuel that God gave us for something that may not be here tomorrow that’s not our future we won’t be a lot when is the use of fossil fuel for the day but the living for tomorrow is not promised

I am work in this company

Somewhat loose with details. Confuses fixed bottom with floating at one point. I appreciate the great video shots and general overview of the process.

Wind turbines only operate 20 years before they fail, recycling them is not profitable so they'll sink them to the bottom of the ocean.. greedy scumbags

Engineering at it's best, simple marvelous !
