[QUOTE=Chief Seadog;196063]I fully expect Offshore Wind Farms will be developed on a greater scale in the future but not until the building of land based farms/fields has run it course. As long as it is easier and cheaper to construct prime land based Wind Generation, Offshore development will lag.[/QUOTE]
Easier to construct but not as efficient in operation = less income over the 20-30 years life of the Wind farm.
