Floating offshore windturbines

I just stumbled upon an interesting article on / (the discussion on /. as often is the case contains many interesting points, if you have the time to read through them).

I think this is a great idea, the concept has already been used on offshore drilling rigs and a company like Statiol who has extensive experience with this seems right to get this idea going.

Wind power really is something that really needs to become used as extensively as in any way possible and I think this might be a good step in the right direction.
