World's Largest Offshore Wind Project?  E-mail
Written by Hank Green

England has begin planning the largest ever offshore wind project in history. Three Hundred and Fifty gigantic wind turbines would supply enough power for around 1,000,000 homes. The farm could produce over half of the power for all of South West England.

Unfortunately, the farm is still in the planning stage. Even if they go ahead with the project in the next year, the project won't be at full capacity for another decade. However, if we want to live in a sustainable world, these long-range, massive projects are exactly what we need to see more of.

We'll have our eye on this one, if South West England is going to lead the way for sustainability in the developed world, then we're behind them 100%.
