Hey, when they're ready for deployment, maybe we could put a couple of these babies in Lake Champlain and really generate some energy, not to mention tons of controversy! Hell, if we're going to have clamorous arguments about puny wind farms above 2,500 feet on Vermont's ridge lines, lets have it over wind power on a scale and a cost that makes sense.
"The project’s goal is to design, fabricate and test a multimegawatt-scale wind
turbine that could produce clean, renewable electricity at a much-reduced
cost.
The wind turbine will be located offshore and is expected to produce
electricity at a cost of 5 cents per kilowatt-hour – 52 percent less than the
current 9.5 cents per hour."
