Huge wind turbine rigs in the Port of Leith, waiting to be floated out to sea, visible even from Calton Hill

@LordWoolamaloo@mastodon.scot The good thing about wind and sunshine is the billionaires can't monetise it like fossil fuel.

‘Jackets’, similar construction technique to some fossil fuel extraction platforms in the North Sea. The jackets ‘indicate’ the depth of water at the wind farm site where they are settled onto pile foundations driven into the seafloor. Next generation will be floating offshore wind, anchored in deeper waters.
And zooming a bit closer - this is all the way from Calton Hill (for a built-in zoom, it's pretty impressive)
