Yet research shows the Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) is much more efficient in wind farms: https://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/news/vertical-turbines-could-be-the-future-for-wind-farms/

In addition, VAWTs have much lower LCOE for floating offshore wind than classical HAWT so “Floating First” should be based on Vertical Axis Wind Turbines since it is the future of offshore floating wind.
