Offshore wind energy is becoming one of our most important sources of energy. In recent years there have been tremendous advances in the technology that makes it possible to generate electricity at sea on a large scale.
This book will take you to the sea, the ports and the factories and, with many photos and illustrations, will show from many angles what is involved in the construction of a wind farm and which companies are involved. It is fascinating to see how fast developments have gone and what the future looks like, because we are only at the beginning! Wind turbines are getting bigger and taller than the Eiffel Tower, being built further out to sea and even placed on floating structures on the ocean.
In the future, wind turbines will do their work entirely automatically, producing hydrogen that will be carried to a collection point by robotic submarines. The seas will become energy fields and this will go hand in hand with new nature and food production.
