Summary of interesting bits: transmitting power is (relatively) easy; so is mooring the turbine (prior experience with oil drilling). Access to the turbine for maintenance is not straightforward even in fair weather. Traditional tall turbines not a good fit - need turbines that are closer to the surface to tap surface winds.
