There are hundreds of thousands of these perfect locations for an added wind generator on top. Hundreds of thousands of windmills added beside and atop already standing electrical transmission towers.
✅ No new land needed
✅ already set back from residences
✅ Already connected to a power grid.
✅ Already maintained by professionals
Construction of new high structures next to HV lines is an OHS nightmare, adding wind turbines "on top" of HV pylons is a non-starter.
(Personally, I can't wait for materials science to get good enough that we can put up floating wind turbines in the jet stream, but I'm not sure the technological civilisation can survive long enough on an overheated planet to reach this stage)
@Leszek_Karlik @kevinrns it sounds more like "Solar roadways" pipe dream then an actual thought-out engineering project.
