Offshore WIND, not OIL

On Friday, June 11 , 2010 | Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

After the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the huge environmental catastrophe it is leading to, more and more voices are now demanding offshore wind as a paliative.

This sounds like a good idea as the important offshore wind potential is still completely untapped in the United States. Meanwhile, the European Union installed more than 500 MW in 2009 only.

The main problem with offshore wind is that it can to its detractors ruin a perfect view. I guess floating wind turbines would solve this problem as they could be implented in much deeper waters.

Some random wisdom

We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.

When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.
