Be cool if they had one like a windsock with a tail or rudder that would follow the direction of the flow current???One good thing is that the ocean current is constant and doesnt die down near as bad as the wind with windmills... At anyrate we couldnt have windmills near us because the area i live in is so hurricane prone i couldnt imagine a 200 foot wind prop blade flying at me at 150 mph lol
A vertical turbine doesn't need to be steered. That's the advantage of a horizontal axis turbine that has airplane propeller type blades.

So far I haven't seen any proposals to place them at the obvious location, in the Gulf Stream. I'm wondering f it has been proposed and nixed by the Europeans for the reasons summarily dismissed by Old Rocks.
