    The UK is currently the No.1 country in offshore wind power, both in practical efficiency and in theoretical research.

    I've done that. It was exhausting, but the view from the top was spectacular. We couldn't use the lift, as it was only used to transport tools etc up, for the maintenance workers.
    I can really recommend doing this to anyone who gets the chance.

      Most don’t actually have elevators, most are just long ladders. Depends on the model and how recently the wind turbines where made

    The off shore wind turbine which China are in progress of building is the largest ever building in the world. Be aware that this could be “ the eye of Modor “ not only watching, tracking all the activities from the South East to Japan sea. I guess it could be also GPS support for strategic targets on the sea around the region
