- giantg2 5y agoI would guess that would increase the infrastructure/cost for transmission if you have to put them further out to sea.
- FriedrichN 5y agoWhere I live the turbines are already quite far out, I don't think I'd be able to hear them if they were of the vertical kind.

I don't know how far out the current ones are since we don't have any around here. This brings up another interesting point. If there are concerns around ship engines and submarine sonar or ELF for marine life, I wonder if any testing has been done concerning that with the turbines.
