      That’s interesting. I love seeing new ways for renewable energy. Though it does seem like the tether would be the weakest point. But I am not an engineer.

      I wonder how the sea life will react. Will they get stuck in it? Will they leave? So many questions only time will answer.

          I find it almost impossible that this system won’t require a LOT of maintenance. Anything you leave in the water breaks and is overgrown within months.
