Wm. Heronemus was the first to suggest windfarms offshore, but his turbines were multi turbines on one foot print, more
efficient he found than single turbines. and he was knowlegable
about handling electrolysis of hydrogen. His company still exists and is seeking financing. A land multi turbine array of
5MW is projected to get 1kwh at 1.3cents. We would be more efficient with land or sea space with this arrangement on the same footprint. H2 can be burned in a combustion chamber to immediately create superheated steam jetting to turn turbines.
The baseload of such a powerplant would be 60% less than current plants to create--no boilers and no pollution equipment and could be local to each town, if desired, as no pollutants are involved. Save seaspace for this development--Hydrogen should be taken from seawater if we intend to use it. Massive
numbers of "barrels" take massive amounts of water. Transportation is not that expensive, especially for the baseload in electric plants on the Cape.
