Ever heard of lakes?



Do they have fish in lakes? Do they use boats in lakes?

Hmm so much info available so little thought in your response.

Was that your counter argument? Too drippy to take seriously. Wink

There is no counter argument to someone like you Lee who deals in endless peddling of snake-oil stupidism.


BTW ...

Your response to why the average global temperature is rising despite periods of low Solar irradiance ...

...

p.s.

Lee is still searching for a lake with a slope so he can go water-skiing.  Wink

Oh that's right you think earth's Goldilocks temperature was in the LIA. And that it shouldn't vary from then.

CO2 plays a ROLE. Not a dominant role. The hydrological cycle plays the dominant role. Wink

You would really have to quote me where I have said anything else. We know what your selective memory is like.

No they will have to look at china and some 3rd world countries for salvation.



You mean the one's China is already building in third world countries as well as at home? Wink

But I wonder what they are going to use? it is not as if there is plenty of room in Japan for wind turbines ad solar panels.

Umm its actually in the article what they r planning to replace the Coal Plants... good of u 2 ask Lee

Since then, Japan’s nuclear power plants have been shut down or shuttered, and attention has increased dramatically — both politically and popularly — towards renewable energy, specifically offshore wind.
In less than a year, several moves have been made by leading Japanese electric utilities to begin the process of building up an offshore wind energy industry. In July 2018, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) president Tomoaki Kobayakawa outlined his plans to not only develop 6 to 7 GW of renewable energy across Japan and overseas, but a promise to focus on offshore wind — particularly floating offshore wind. Just over a month later, Japan’s Electric Power Development Co., better known as J-Power, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with French multinational electric utility ENGIE to collaborate on power projects, specifically offshore wind and floating offshore wind projects. This was mirrored in January 2019 as Danish power giant Ørsted signed an MoU with TEPCO to explore the possibility and to work jointly on developing offshore wind projects in Japan — focusing first on the proposed Choshi offshore wind project near Tokyo.

I guess if your interestd Lee u could google more info from that bit of  stuff  Wink

That sound very interesting.

A couple of questions -

What happens to a floating wind farm during typhoons? Do they break moorings and drift? Obviously they feather them so that no power is produced.

Do floating wind farms pose a potential navigation hazard?

"About 30 typhoons form each year over the Northwest Pacific Ocean, of which an average of about seven or eight pass over Okinawa Prefecture, and about three hit the Japanese main islands, especially Kyushu and Shikoku. But any region of Japan, including Tokyo, Osaka and Hokkaido can be visited by typhoons."

https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2117.html

Typhoons typically travel at 20KM/h. And bring transportation to a standstill. Typically for a day.

Looks like only 1 is made and in Scotland…….

The 65% capacity figure was achieved despite a hurricane and a severe winter storm with wave heights up to 27 feet.....

Looks like early days, but they haven't broken their chains yet...…

If they r like the Scotland one, something sticking 180 metres above the ocean shouldn't be to much trouble to navigate around... id say would have same trouble navigating around oil rigs Smiley

Yes. The article was dated October 2018 and they quote figures from November, December 2017 and January 2018. I wonder what the other months did?

I tried a search and that seams to be the latest news about the project.... I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Id say none of the 6 have broken a mooring yet or it would be news   Wink
