> While 28 tonnes appears to be a lot of material for generating 1.2MW of energy Really? I was thinking the _opposite_; look at the size of hydro and conventional tidal plants. A 1.5MW on-shore wind turbine (which generates less energy in practice as the wind isn't constant) weighs about 150 tonnes. Even a 1MW diesel generator weighs about 10 tonnes (obviously not including fuel infrastructure). |
