A major issue that no one considers with an offshore wind farm is that the life of the equipment is significantly reduced due to the continuous exposure to salt water. The Jamestown bridge is a good example to what happens to the "usual" construction materials when exposed to a marine environment.
Wind power ..a good idea, offshore not so because to be economicly viable it will need to have a significant amount of taxpayer subsidy and right now this taxpayer can't afford any more...
