Another advantage to offshore wind turbines is that many of the places that use the most power -- large cities -- are relatively close to shoreline, and far away from other areas of high wind power potential -- the high mountain plateaus. One disadvantage of a floating offshore wind turbine is that there is the risk that bad weather may make it completely disappear, as happened to the Project Mustard Seed turbines. With land-based wind turbines, there is generally *something* left to salvage no matter how bad the weather gets. ... please fill in other advantages and disadvantages ...
