Question by Jim B: How could i start my energy/wind turbine company?
I am a 23 year old economics student. It is my ambition to develop a company that generates energy through offshore wind farm using wind turbines. It has not been attempted in my city (nor in my country) yet but the wind blows EVERYDAY! So much so that the town i live in is called the 'windy city'. I always day dream of how successful this a company of this nature could become. Is there anyone out there with some solid advice for me??

Wind farms seem like a great idea don't they? Permanent energy for free. Unfortunately they don't work!
I am no physicist but I understand that the energy generated by each turbine is minute so you need thousands and thousands and that the output is too uneven to be able to be used efficiently. Also they are incredibly noisy so you could not possibly install them in a town.
