hmmm, I wonder how the electricity would make it to shore? above sea/land cables or underwater cables?.... Anything to get us off of oil, before oil poisons or just kills us all....

There are big cables that are built into the support systems
that go down to the seafloor and than run to the land.

Windfarms are not more effecient than burning gasoline and coal and the rest. Windfarms are, in fact, extremely inefficient, and are not anywhere near close to being a reasonable alternative, or even a moderately helpful supplement.

Having said that, they have potential for future use, and, christ, we gotta do something.

Actually in parts of the world, wind power is more cost competitive then fossile fuels. You gotta take the location and then implentation into account. Various messure have to be taken for large windfarms, the installation needs large flow battery installations to store large amounts of electricity generation by the wind when electricity is in low demand. Flow batterys have many advantages in that they are scalable to massive proportions. There are several variants and a few are not that dangerous and can store a reasonable amount of juice. Also, in low wind conditions you need to look at completely different designs for turbines. The Gaviotas designed sunflower turbine is designed to work in extremly wind-poor conditions. I'm not sure of the output, but anything helps(and the looks is more farmy then techno-industrial cuz the real ones are made out of 80% recycled materials)

Wind farms are not more competitive than fossil fuel power, even in hurrican alley. Its the very reason why they're not widely used, because they blow.
