Yes, those marine turbines look a very sensible approach; they're down in the deep where the weather isn't, so are not obliged to take the force of North Sea waves going at them sideways, and the main structure looks much more like a buoy, a kind of thing known to endure pretty well at sea, than like an attempt to build a sea-going gantry crane.
Also, their board contains people who've spent two decades working on renewable energy already, and their Web site isn't proposing to roof over a square kilometre of North Sea with the things!
It may be that my main objection to Trident Energy is to people putting up a Web site full of puffery when they haven't got a working prototype yet; much less risk of making a fool of yourself when in stealth mode.
