First American ship for offshore windfarms takes shape
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2023
- This summer, dozens of massive wind turbines are starting to sprout in the waters off the East Coast. Down along the Gulf Coast, an innovative new ship custom built to service them is giving a jobs lifetime to a community in need. Ben Tracy has the story.

This will create more jobs than the oil industry💙
Ha ha, short lived jobs, once these wind turbines are built, many of those people are told to hit the bricks, they dont need that many people for upkeep..... big waste of money, that will never pay for itself
@@bobbertee5945imagine defending the oil industry
@@bobbertee5945 Actually they are a safe profitable investment. No variable input costs is the key.
L. M. F. A. O. How? Is there a liberal on top spinning it? This kills millions of fish and eco systems. They are destroying you will you sleep and when you realize it then it’s way to late.
Qu'elle formation a suivre pour devenir grutier de navire pour installer les éoliennes
Great work ...
Bonsoir...etant technicien de maintenance d'éoliennes en mer est il possible de changer le poste pour devenir grutier de navire pour installer les éoliennes
Three to four days per year maintenance for one wind power plant. Take two hundred to roughly equal an Nuclear power plant which is manned 365 days a year with 1.000s of workers. Appr. 5-6 times the people for the same power output.
As of Sept. 3, 2023, Bloomberg is reporting that Orsted is threatening to pull out.
Good they should be
@@jacobsukovaty520 Why?
this is interesting
Nice
The boat is going to weigh 3400 tons. The lady said there are 33 boats under construction to support the offshore wind industry and they still need 50 to 60 more boats. How much pollution is spewed into the air to produce 3400 tons of steel per boat x 83 to 93 boats? Then for bonus points add in all those boats off shore with 4000 horse power diesel engines running 24/7 to remain on station while servicing each wind turbine.
But the plan is to build enough to replace 60 500mW power stations. Which would need coal supplies throughout there lives. So quite a lot less pollution.
@@ianhamilton3113 What’s the backup energy source for when the wind isn’t blowing? For bonus points how many dead whales is an acceptable trade off? Mean while on the other side of the world China continues to build coal fired power plants. Confucius says, “When you pee in the deep end of the pool you pee in the entire pool.”
@@jamesnichols7507 "What’s the backup energy source for when the wind isn’t blowing?" Natural gas, hydro, batteries, solar and time of use tariffs.. You could have Googled that but glad to be of help.
@@jamesnichols7507 "For bonus points how many dead whales is an acceptable trade off? " Although you may have seen whales jumping out of water, the turbine blades are too far off the water surface to be an issue.
@@jamesnichols7507 "Mean while on the other side of the world China continues to build coal fired power plants." Yes, they are needed to cope with their growing power demand. They are however installing vast amounts of wind and solar to replace those power stations in the not too distant future. Quality of coal in China is low so they are a stop gap solution.

And all of those ships will require oil.
The Biden administration’s investment in green energy and massive infrastructure upgrades in America is greatly needed and appreciated! It’s about time we catch up to the rest of the world in this crucial sector!
🫵🤣👌
While killing whales in the process and guess what how did the build those farms oil so there not clean at all you know where that money should have gone nuclear fission reactors and not offshore wind
@ukovaty520 you value whales lives (which you don't even have proof for) over ours? They produce energy without releasing emissions they produce clean energy...... idk what you're on about
LMAO!!😂😂
Does that ship run on wind power or DIESEL?? 😂👍
Great job environmentalists!👍👍👍
So a small amount of diesel replaces a vast amount of coal and natural gas. Environmentalist aren't so silly after all.
@@ianhamilton3113 How much energy does each wind turbine generate??
How long do they take to generate enough energy to pay for themselves?
@@Lilcracka01 compared to 1 nuclear power plant that can power half a million homes at once so yeah that is laughable and completely inefficient
@@jacobsukovaty520 According to Reuters- The cost of generating solar power ranges from $36 to $44 per megawatt hour (MWh), while onshore wind power comes in at $29-$56 per MWh. Nuclear energy costs between $112 and $189. Off shore wind is around $114. The cost of renewables year on year is falling as technology improves.
Then you have 8 years to build a nuclear plant, which almost always goes over budget. I’m not against nuclear for the short term, but renewables ARE more efficient, safer and don’t spew out CO2. Check out Doggerbank wind farm which aims to power 6 MILLION HOMES. It’s already generating power. It’s on time and on budget.
We should hire 5000 specialized foreign shipworkers and then we could produce one of these every month.
Glad more renewable sources are being produced. Hope we never need fossil fuel systems in the near future .
You do know how these are made right by burning coal or oil in order to smelt and create these monstrosities
@@jacobsukovaty520 good, better to use fossil fuels to make new renewable system than to use fossil fuels to pull more fossil fuels store them transport them and then burn them to make more energy. I say hells to the yeah
@@TheOriginalBumper nuclear reactors can be built by recycling nuclear warheads and "green" energy is not clean the only clean source of energy we have at the moment is nuclear energy
@@jacobsukovaty520 sure
@@TheOriginalBumper also the hypocrisy of building these wind turbines with oil and fracking at least co2 goes away these whale killers never break down so they'll stay there for hundreds of trillions of years
Did any US Companies make any of the components? All Chinese right?
The report said US steel.
Did you watch the video at all? Literally shows everything in the video being made in America. They even said it again for emphasis!
Most of it is made in America and that is why is so expensive to build offshore wind in the US compared to Europe. You end up paying for it in your electricity bill and any other service that requires shipping commodities.
Complete waste of money.
No it’s not
. Yes it is
No i5 not. Go home boomer
@@jacobsukovaty520 No it's not, no it's not, no it's nooooott! (sung).
Being serious, you are actually wrong. As an investment you can predict life time costs from the get-go. Coal and natural gas stations are subject to life time input costs that can vary. Costs can be hedged but that comes at a premium. The variable factor that effects all generation types is electricity selling prices.
