European wind farms are a sunk cost. Quite literally.
Hundreds of Britain’s offshore wind turbines could be sinking into the sea because of a design flaw. It is believed the concrete used to fix some turbines to their steel foundation can wear away, causing the power generators to drop a few inches. The fault was first discovered at the Egmond aan Zee wind farm in the Netherlands and affects those with single cylinder foundations.
Green power really is renewable, in the sense that it needs renewing when it sinks into the sea.

Wow! Not only can greenies shred endangered birds, they can filet dolphins and whales, too. Aunt Gaia may becoming a bit vexed.
