These people are experimenting with HTSC and floating wind turbine 
towers. Amazing stuff. Wind energy is as high-tech as can be, even 
though the basic technology is centuries old.

I suppose the floating towers must be anchored, or they would be 
blown away. I suppose the turbine power run propellers to keep the 
platform in one place, but that would be like sailing into the wind. 
I recall a fairly large freight ship was constructed with vertical 
turbines rather than sails.
