minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 day ago“First artificial island” It definitely isn’t, there are many. “Offshore wind” Every previous attempt at build windmills in the North sea has been a failure. To much sea salt in the wind causes fast erosion, constant repair costs are very high. I do hope they are successful but i am not keeping my hopes up.
