The table shows that in nine months, a V80-2.0 MW offshore wind turbine has generated just as much electricity as is used on the turbine throughout its life cycle – from the extraction of the raw materials to final disposal.

I would say 9 months is a pretty good EROI, when the average wind turbine has a lifetime of 20+ years - thats 19 years and 3 months of FREE energy.
The technology is there - true it needs to get better, but that will only come with a demand, and politicians could create the demand.
