Blue H Goal
To install deepwater offshore wind farms that are built economically
which will ultimately be competitive with other forms of power generation

Blue H:
has no assembly out at sea
does not use expensive marine servicesequipment
does not need to prepare seabed
does not have high decommissioning costs
