conix, That's good news. "While turbines have grown rapidly in recent years, it’s not clear how much bigger they will get. Technically, it would be easy to scale-up further, but the supply chain wouldn’t be able to keep up, said Jeppe Funk Kirkegaard, head of structural blade design for offshore at Siemens Gamesa. There’s also the issue of having enough vessels big enough to install the giant machines."

Market forces are moving on even while leaving many conservative governments in their wake.

PS: Not sure where your "...just took the shut down of the world economy to do it" attribution comes from.
