I'm inventing the "cringe index" where I count the number of "!" in an article.

"Extensive prototyping and sea trials need to be undertaken to iron out the design’s kinks" well that is the thing isn't it? There is a reason almost all viable wind farms use very tall, point into the wind turbine designs. AND sea based is the hardest environment to survive in.

Again another breathless article hyping questionable tech. I'd bet the reduction in energy due to its amazing design makes it economically nonviable. The author needs to find a 1960's book on wind energy and read it.
