Converting light into electricity with no moving parts is a profoundly different enterprise than turning a turbine to make power — the technology that is at work in coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydropower plants and, most visibly to the public, at wind farms.

Additionally, new wind turbine technology now makes wind energy development within Florida feasible.

Dr Gordon Edge, dthe irector of policy at RenewableUK, the body that represents Britain's wind farm industry, said: «Wind farm developers only earn money for the clean electricity they actually generate, so it's very much in their interests to make sure that their turbines are maintained... to an optimum level, which includes upgrading as the technology improwind farm industry, said: «Wind farm developers only earn money for the clean electricity they actually generate, so it's very much in their interests to make sure that their turbines are maintained... to an optimum level, which includes upgrading as the technology improWind farm developers only earn money for the clean electricity they actually generate, so it's very much in their interests to make sure that their turbines are maintained... to an optimum level, which includes upgrading as the technology improves.

The cost of offshore wind farms, until recently the most expensive mainstream renewable technology, will slide 71 percent, making turbines based at sea another competitive form of generation.

Much else — radios, cheap food, pharmaceutical drugs, solar panels, wind turbines and hybrid cars — was made possible thanks to large government investments in technology.

Geared technology, meanwhile, largely used for the onshore turbines which currently makes up the bulk of installed wind power, does not use permanent magnets.

The first is that floating can quickly make the most of hard - won lessons learned in conventional offshore wind — in areas such as technology development, turbine scale - up, project management and supply chain streamlining.
