The natural resource of wind is now being extensively farmed in the North Sea. This farm is 15 miles off the Dutch Coast near Vlisingen. One of many farms making navigation a little more challenging.
Each turbine has a life span of 20 years. It will take 13 years to pay for itself providing 7 years of free energy. My question is....who for ? I am guaranteeing that this is another example of the rich getting richer and the rest of us still have to pay for free energy.

When I visit other people's streams, I like to leave encouraging comments or respectful critique. I never leave images, logos or text based decorations in my comments. I'd really appreciate it if you could do the same for me. Thank you!

I am a registered operator and flyer and have passed the CAA Theory test for drones under 250g.
I didn't see the distant surfers at first. They obviously know about whatever feature below the water causes the lone break, which is far beyone the typical near-beach break.

The offshore wind this week reminded me of this photo. The way it makes the seaspray curl is a visual treat and, of course, the coast is usually significantly warmer.
