Dominion Offshore, Siemens Takeover, Gravity Foundations, ArcVera Wakes, AeroLightning with Nicholas Gaudern

Rosemary and Allen review the latest news from Dominion Energy's offshore negotiations with Virginia and the Siemens acquisition of SGRE. Low-cost offshore gravity foundations are installed France with great results - will they be the future in offshore? Allen is excited about a YouTube video from ArcVera on wake turbulence. Back at WindEnergy Hamburg Allen and Joel discuss the latest in AeroLightning with Nicholas Gaudern, CTO of PowerCurve.

Four and a half weeks old and just so, so keen to get started on engineering communication that he's decided to join the podcast today, So  Allen Hall: we're excited to have him along with us. And we, we talk about some really interesting topics this week. Dominion Energy is finally settled with the state of Virginia on their offshore wind costs. And that's good news. Spanish regulators have agreed to let Siemens, me. Be acquired by Siemens in a $4 billion plus takeover. And Siemens is also trying to restructure itself as part of its mystro program to, to really grow that company. And then we have Rosemary. I go back and forth about some gravity based foundations that are being installed in France, which are, is an interesting technology because it just lowers the cost of foundations. It's a little complicated in terms of, of how they're deployed, but it's lower cost and you think you're gonna see that in the United States. And then I, I crossed a video from a ArcVera recently on YouTube, and everybody just subscribed to ArcVera's YouTube channel because they have really cool things there. We talk about wake turbulence on offshore wind farms,
