- iancmceachern 4y agoThis is a solved problem, oil rigs, off shore oil platforms, etc.
- gehsty 4y agoMaintaining subsea turbines is not a solved problem - they exist but none have been around a long time, and no large utility scale projects use them so no one has experience with a fleet of subsea tidal turbines. Static subsea structures are proven by the industries you state, but not large turbines.
