Yes, I was thinking of a wind-turbine *farm* when a bunch of them may need transporting from the nearest river, port, or heavy access road. Of course the site needs infrastructure, but maybe even cranes etc could be brought in in pieces by airship.

I had no opinion on an airship replacing a heavy lift crane; in fact in view of possible wind gusts at a site selected for wind, the idea makes me nervous
