Google imagines an Atlantic Wind Grid

One of the problems with new green energy installations is the need to funnel the power, facility by facility, into the existing electricity grid. Google is trying to resolve that problem on the Atlantic seaboard by starting with an “Atlantic Wind Connection” that “will be able to connect 6,000MW of offshore wind turbines.”

Networking the turbines this way is far more efficient, both physically and administratively.

Now lets see if it goes through.
