What are the advantages and disadvantages of floating offshore windmill?

Anyone who looks at a wind atlas can see one obvious advantage of offshore wind turbines compared to any other location: there is more power in the wind offshore than just about anywhere else in the world.
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 ...

What are the advantages of using plastic over steel wings on windmill is stell costlier or plastic?
Using plastic over steel wings on a windmill is a good idea because the steel will eventually rust. The steel is heavier and the motor on the windmill will have to work harder to turn steel, than plastic. The cost of the plastic is actually a little more than steel, though.
