Pollution, savings and certain international obligations to comply with the maximum reduction of pollution levels lead nations to spend large sums of money in the development of environmentally sound technologies. Japan is a country that makes a considerable effort to balance the pollution generated by its ultra concentrated urbanization, so now it is proposed to build a wind farm at sea to generate energy that will be the largest in the world when completed.

The urgency lived in March 2011 with the Fukushima nuclear power plant was a warning to the Japanese nation, one of the most prepared for emergencies and tragedies with technology in every field. Still, the uncertainty experienced before the event surpassed them and luckily no problems were triggered in the short term consequences were long, as the three major Japanese reactors plummeted (54 reactors unusable in total) and the island nation now looking to reduce its dependence on nuclear energy. To this has sought refuge and renewable energy solution for what is to build the offshore wind farm in the world's largest.

Located 16 kilometers off the coast of Fukushima, the plan consists of the installation of 143 wind turbines that generate one gigawatt of energy once they are completed in, hopefully, 2020. Wanted to be a record, so that the wind farm will surpass Japan 504 megawatts generated by the 140 turbines farm Greater Gabbard off the coast of Suffolk, UK, which is the largest wind farm in the world at the moment. Even when the end will be surpassed this year pass the Thames Estuary, where 175 turbines and will produce 630 megawatts of power. According to the Japanese magazine gave the notice, the first stage of Fukushima will build a 2 megawatt turbine, substation and a submarine cable installation. The turbine will be maintained at 200 meters high and if successful, additional turbines will be built progressively subject to the availability of funds.



Something very interesting about this news is to understand how to do to solve the cost problem, and in this case to solve the total expenditure turbines anchored to the sea bottom, floating frames are constructed of steel ballast stabilized with anchored platform 200 meters deep around the Japanese coast via mooring lines. Once it is running at full steam (no, not use steam to run), the intention is to supply electricity to the extensive network that two of the Fukushima reactors They provided. In Japan they are interested in expanding offshore wind farm if things go as expected, although the inhabitants of the coast and the fishing industry showed antipathy for not knowing how this construction will affect their source of income. We hope to solve a problem not generate another, which is typical in environmental intentions of the careless.
