A research paper that examined the economic viability of deep-water off-shore wind farms, using research developed by the National Renewable Energy Lab in Boulder, CO as a starting point. Interviews were conducted with NREL staff, turbine engineer design staff at GE, MIT's Engineering Department, and affiliates of the Cape Wind Project. Study findings included an economic model that incorporated GE windmill turbine design enhancements and MIT's deep-water platform designs, making deep-water wind farms a potentially cost-effective alternative energy source.
