Though construction and maintenance costs tend to be higher for offshore turbines than land-based ones, offshore wind benefits from lower transmissions costs, since many major cities sit on the coast.

尽管离岸涡轮机的建设和维护成本通常比陆基涡轮机要高，由于很多大城市座落于海岸之上，因此，海上风电场又得益于更低的传输成本。

In coastal areas of the United States, offshore resources tend to dwarf the land-based wind component with the exception of California, Texas, Maine and a few other states.

FORBES: Turn Baby, Turn - Offshore Wind Power Poised for Major Growth in U.S.

Wind tends to blow more forcefully and uniformly over the ocean than on land, providing the potential for increased electricity generation and smoother, steadier operation than land-based wind power systems.

FORBES: Turn Baby, Turn - Offshore Wind Power Poised for Major Growth in U.S.

Land-based wind turbines are reasonably cheap but function best in the sort of windswept beauty spots that locals like to keep unblemished, so many have stalled in the planning process.
