The UK has been a leader in deploying on and offshore wind turbines. What we have not done so well is to ensure that we have a solid base level of generation to supply electricity when there is no sun and no wind. At the time of writing, mid-morning 21 Sept, we have: Wind 9%. Nuclear 15%. Biomass 5%. See [link].

In a hangar at the University of Edinburgh, a triangular steel contraption sits beside a giant tank of water. One day soon, a platform 50 times as large may float in the deep waters of the North Sea, buoying up a massive wind turbine to harvest the steady, strong breezes there. Hence the push for wind platforms that float.
