I didn’t know that. This is just in Europe I assume, since we here are not even at that stage yet. Yes, it would seem that it is a shortsighted rule. I wonder if offshore oil platforms have to be removed too?

All offshore wind farms must present details to the permitting organisations about how they will remove the foundations at the end of the wind farm life. They even have to put aside money for this activity. This article is a good basis to say why would we ever remove foundations after 20-50 years of marine life building up around them. It is time to take a different view and reduce the cost of offshore wind by removing the need to put cash aside for removing foundations.

This could do a lot for the offshore wind’s image.
