So offshore, you want
as big a turbine as possible, with as big a rotor as possible that will run longer.
The 1,034
big turbines now running in Britain produce about 700MW of electricity — about as much as one conventional power station — but in the next seven years more than 7,000 MW of generating power will be installed on 73 new farms.
In at least two groups, coal and nuclear met a unanimity of rejection otherwise reserved only for anything preceded by the word big, as

I was shocked to discover that the life expectancy of
the big turbines (i.e. 2MW, 80m ones) has been found in practice to be between just 7 and 12 years.
Bigger and
bigger turbines have been built while their efficiency has improved and prices have fallen, leading to reduction in prices of electricity from wind.
He said: «I strongly believe
the bigger turbines are proving more difficult to manage and more likely to interfere with one another.
Their manufacture of
the biggest turbines, given their long experience is making them the people to consult on many areas of installation, maintenance and the future of offshore wind.
Solar reactors don't need
the big turbine or generator for making electricity, but only consist of a tower, a solar field, a receiver and the reaction chamber.
The inadequacy of planning laws, councils and our government to protect people from wind farm harm must be reversed as more and more and
bigger turbines are constructed.
This, plus
bigger turbines and economies of scale, have contributed to more than halving the average cost of wind power during the past two decades.
