That's a lot of money...and a lot of wind turbines

The article at the link predicts that the US will have 20 GW of offshore wind power generation installed by 2030. Using best available technology (12 MW turbines) as a basis, that's 1667 turbines. There are over 6000 offshore turbines throughout northern Europe, UK and Scandinavia...for comparison.

An even more poignant comparison...just one nuke plant like Palo Verde can produce 4 GW. So..5 modern nuke plants easily could match nearly 2000 modern wind turrbines...and without any concern for power interruption or energy storage.

This is nuts. But it's good for my companies business, so I'm all for it.. ;-p
