total elecricity demand would they generate?

At least it should prevent Donald Trump from building a golf complex
on that part of the coast. I can't see any other benefit, though.

Presumably there is some EU or govenment dosh being handed out and you would
be daft not to get into the queue.

I'm waiting for the marine salvagers to sneek up at night and remove all the
connecting cables.

I was going to comment that they had better wait until there is no
current flowing, but that may not be a problem.

Their usual technique to steal underground cable is to tie it to the
back of a lorry and drive off. Be interesting to see them try that at sea.

Sorry guv. We was just fishing. Didn't realise the anchor would drag if
we left the engine running....

That explosive spike? Found it lying about somewhere and thought it
might come in handy if we caught a really big fish..
