A comment on New Offshore Wind Design: 20% the weight and 30% the price of conventional. Parent comment
This has already fallen dramatically in the last 2 years - see both US east coast and UK off shore tenders.
Perhaps you are referring to floating off shore - which is still developing.
> In the US - we have 3x more wind energy production than solar
Wind matured much earlier than PV - but costs have largely plateaued - while PV progress is relentless.
Even at existing costs, PV (+ LFP!) will swamp every thing else.
