Offshore there are great idea's about energy storage.

Currently in the Nethelands there are talks about giving polders back to the sea. Wouldn't it be economical to use these polders as energy storage lakes. IN the mean time they could act as storage area's in case of flooding.

Installing wind turbines by means of large cranes is to dependent on good weather conditions!

Floating concepts, is this an operational limit or a financial limit?

What is the reason that the wind turbines are always standing still.
Is this due to design or maintenance?
wind energy bij using kites

I saw a great new way of getting lots of green energy by using Kites on TED.com. Placing Kites at about 300 meters in the air could generate tremendous new way of getting offshore wind energy cheap. Low cost, high impact.
Take a look at this presentation by innovator and invento Saul Griffith on http://blog.ted.com/2009/03/inventing_a_sup.php
