http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_norway12_01.jpgNorway already boasts the world's first floating wind turbine (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8085551.stm), and is apparently the windiest coastline in Europe, making it perfect for even more turbines. Or a turbine city, like On Office (http://gizmodo.com/tag/onoffice/)'s proposal which shows a stunning vision of the future.
The Turbine City concept from the architectural firm not only harnesses all that valuable wind, it also shows a smart tourism scheme housing a hotel, spa and museum. The offshore wind turbines (http://gizmodo.com/tag/windturbines/) would be connected together like an archipelago of islands, and would provide a base for passing sailors and holidaymakers. If this is the future, I've got to find myself a cryogenic freezer.
