Into the deep: floating offshore wind turbines

Ocean windfarms will be tragic for millions of seabirds who live and
feed on the ocean, skating over waves and diving to gather food.
Everyone has a NIMBY attitude toward energy production, but I say
put the thing on my house! My neighborhood is already a
constructed and modified habitat. Our oceans face enough threats
with pollution and other human changes, we should not turn them
into energy production that causes as much damage as strip mining
does to the land.

What about the potential threat to marine life? How will the turbines
affect sonar location of whale, dolphins, etc? Maybe nothing. Maybe
terrible. How many different ways can we screw up this planet?
Maybe we should be investing in ways to live as a part of nature, not
apart from nature.

As many have written i am also of the same view that the ocean and its marine life shouldnt be disturbed for our energy use. It all seems that we are always thinking to exploit the plannet more and more. Anyways seeing the wind turbines at the middle of the ocean i was wondering how they engineered to built it up there. I am wondering how the excavators excavated the foundations of these turbines?
