Europe could theoretically produce all of its electricity needs from offshore wind power. With that objective, the continent’s coastal nations are leasing out large parts of their waters. But too dense a forest of turbines could become an economic problem. As the blades of each individual turbine go round, they take strength out of the wind, researchers have found. The blades harvest energy that is then converted into electricity. The net result is that downwind blades will not be turning as fast; the energy otherwise available from the wind can be cut 20% as far as 50km away. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/talks-needed-over-density…
