I wonder how hard it'd be to build neutral buoyancy power cables that could float significantly above the seafloor. Of course you're still going to get wrecked by trawlers & anchors, potentially. UT man, I just have such a hard time seeing this as comparatively competitive.
- londons_explore 3y agoYou just lay the lines on the seafloor (cheapest), lay more than you need as redundancy, and then when some get broken by earthquakes you use a cable repair ship to repair them. It's pretty standard stuff, and most cables last year's between breaks.
