It seems the cost is not just financial but the carbon cost is great too deleting much of the 'carbon free' energy which is the point of the turbines.
The estimated monetary costs naturally do not reflect the final costs so what will the final bill be.
The Government is absurdly locked in, continuing to lock itself into a scandalously expensive and relatively unproductive program.
THE CONCEPT OF BY - PASSING ELECTRICITY TO PRODUCE A STORED WATERHEAD AT  SEA THAT CAN BE USED WHEN THE GRID NEEDS DICTATE NEEDS SERIOUS INVESTIGATION. THE RENEWABLE ENERGY INDUSTRY SHOULD LOOK AT UNDERWRITING A FEASABILITY STUDY IMMEDIATELY.
