    > the best general advice about which way to turn At the risk of derailing into insane pedantry land, this part is kinda true, so maybe not the best analogy?

    3 MW is tiny.

    https://www.ge.com/renewableenergy/wind-energy/offshore-wind... Quite right, my mistake. GE's new turbine has a 63% capacity apparently. So, 428 of them are needed, apparently. Either way, I don't see what is so intrinsically unrealistic about setting up 500 of these things offshore as compared to a hinkley point. Gansu Wind farm in China is 8,000MW - already 2.5x onen Hinkley.

    The amusing thing is when a web site for a company that does real stuff ends up looking like one of those. I mentioned Continental in a self-driving car discussion. Here's their web site.[1] Someone commented that it looked like a fake company. The rearing-horse logo, "The future in motion" as a slogan, and the vague name looked suspicious. The pictures look like clip art. The top of the home page rotates through fo…
