According to a 2023 report  (1) from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, depending on make and model, wind turbines are predominantly made of steel (66-79% of total turbine mass); fiberglass, resin or plastic (11-16%); iron or cast iron (5-17%); copper (1%); and aluminum (0-2%). Offshore wind turbines would need additional materials for their platforms, anchors, and other components related to their operation in an offshore environment. ​ The expected life expectancy of

Offshore wind turbines produce a tremendous amount of electricity — far more than is needed locally here in Humboldt County. Humboldt County has also historically been under invested with transmission infrastructure. Read this report (6) by Arne Jacobsen to learn more about Humboldt's current electric infrastructure. Because our existing transmission infrastructure is extremely limited and insufficient to transmit so much energy to other parts of California, successful imp
