NORWEGIAN state controlled oil firm StatoilHydro announced plans to build what it claims will be the world's first full-scale floating wind-powered electricity turbine. The company, based in Stavanger, is the key producer in the offshore oil industry that makes Norway a major petroleum exporter. It says the pilot project combines its offshore oil experience with advanced technology for wind power.
