"Alternative energy boost after the Government gave the go-ahead for the world’s largest offshore wind farm to be built in UK waters. The £8bn scheme is for 400 turbines to be erected 80 miles off the Yorkshire coast, covering 430 square miles of Dogger Bank. The turbines – which are likely to be 600ft tall – are expected to generate enough energy to power 1.8 million homes."
From "The Week"
It's ambitious and the technology needs to get way way better but it's a big vision with big potential and we have got rather shy at attempting grand projects. At least you won't be able to see them. If they are 80 miles off the coast.
Nuclear fission remains the dream though.
