Wind power: Prize for waiting

Gunnar S. Eskeland and Kristin Linnerud: Good prospects for offshore wind and irreversible costs related to on-land wind are good reasons to choose a step by step development of on-land wind in Norway. It may prove profitable to wait.

Norwegians and foreigners want to build windmills almost everywhere, except in some dips and along some precious urban footpaths.

The prize for waiting may also be called a prize for regretting, Gunnar S. Eskeland and Kristin Linnerud (Professor at at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL)) write.
