If We Want Bigger Wind Turbines, We’re Gonna Need Bigger Airplanes

Radia is developing WindRunner, an aircraft longer than a football field designed to transport massive wind-turbine blades that are currently limited in size due to transportation constraints. The plane will be able to carry one 105-meter blade or two 95-meter blades, landing on makeshift dirt runways near wind farms. The project aims to enable the deployment of larger onshore wind turbines, which can generate more energy at a lower cost per megawatt. Despite challenges like infrastructure limitations and carbon emissions, Radia believes the benefits of larger turbines outweigh the drawbacks, potentially doubling wind energy profitability.

MindsEye's sabotage mission is being slammed as dull and pointless

Build A Rocket Boy accuses individuals of sabotaging MindsEye's launch, spending over €1 million on damaging efforts. The studio integrates the controversy into a new in-game mission, Blacklist, to showcase evidence of sabotage to players. However, reports describe the mission as lackluster and failing to deliver a compelling narrative. Critics attribute the launch issues to internal problems, such as management and design decisions, casting doubt on the sabotage claims. The saga continues as MindsEye's post-launch turmoil unfolds.
