The sun shines and the wind blows. How to compare?
you make it sound like business has no costs and the sale price is irrelevant
old news
It is well known that the offshore wind industry is fighting a cost problem right now.
I argued against your terminology and reasoning, not the facts that there are problems with both OWFs and Solar power parks:
The first kill birds and the second may occupy arable land, but at least they don’t create smog, acid rain and GHGs.
It’s getting late, good night.
Updated list of largest Solar Parks in the world:
CO2 creates none of those. Those are created by the processes (in poorly regulated places like China) that produce solar panels, wind turbines and their connections to the grid.
I note the words “greater availability of incentives” is a main reason for more of this rubbish. Those incentives are extracted from taxpayers. Stop the subsidies and the whole boondoggle collapses.

Australia’s energy plan is about as coherent as the USA
But if they get there it will save the world with 1% of the problem and nobody will have to do anything.
The world is still moving ahead with development of OWFs, with new players entring the game to get a piece of a growing market:
PS> Offshore Wind is fast becoming “the industry of the future”, while Offshore Oil & Gas is an industry in decline on the world scene.
here are dimensions over the floating wind turbines, both present and past.
<even more so over those planned for the future:
PS> The first test of floating wind turbine was installed at Utsira Nord area in Norway in 2009 and is still operating: METCentre – Norwegian Offshore Wind
