There are plans to start building enormous floating wind turbines in a Welsh port. The docks at Port Talbot hopes to capture some of the work of building these giant turbines which it is hoped will start generating energy in the Celtic Sea, off the coast of Wales, England and Ireland.
The port is ideal because it is a deep water port that will enable the construction of these behemoth floating structures. The massive turbines float on a base the size of a football pitch. The base is 30 metres high. On top of that is a turbine in excess of 300m. This is the same as the Eiffel Tower. This image shows how the structures compare to other UK landmarks:
