Reply to comment by axismundi00 in A city in China is planning an offshore wind farm so big that it could power all of Norway by quellerand

China basically decided to get going on offshore wind in 2021 and overtook the whole world's installed capacity in a year

There aren't all that many places where offshore wind in its current form can be placed as it needs shallow seas - hence the North & Irish Seas dominating installed capacity to date.

USA is looking to go big on floating wind farms which could put them in a race with China for installed capacity in coming years.

That's the kind of race that's just good news for everyone.

We should have these races more often. We've had really terrible ones.
