Floating wind brings the hydrogen economy a step closer Energy storage Hydrogen has often been mooted as one way that offshore turbines could reduce their costs and accelerate their time to market. Being functionally infinite, their energy is cheap, but it has a problem; the variability of wind means that power yield changes from moment to moment, making planning difficult, writes freelance journalist Charlie Bartlett. One way to address the issue of unpredictable wind power is to build so many turbines that even a small amount of energy generated from the wind is enough....
