There have been many offshore wind turbines installed for decades now in the North Sea, not a very hospitable environment for anything. And just like offshore oil rigs, they are built to last.

Maybe the ones in the North Sea were built to last, but I'd bet big money these "Green Jobs" windmills will be as cheap as they can make them.

I give them 10 years at the most. They will be expensive to maintain per MW, especially after they start requiring major maintenance once the "new car smell" is gone...
