Apparently they can assemble on site which means they’re not limited in diameter which will fit a truck. So they can build higher which results in better yields.

You don’t need to build it from wood to get around the diameter problem. The worlds biggest wind turbine is built in Germany using a truss base

Sure and that’s cool. Do you think it’s a good idea to use these wooden composites?

Would have to watch the video and see how exactly they use it. It can of course handle a lot of stress, but is also more in need of care than a metal or composite base
