It is a first in France. Off Fos-sur-Mer, a wind farm is being installed. They have a special feature. They are not fixed at the bottom of the sea by concrete pillars. The system allows to avoid drilling and thus to limit to the maximum the deterioration of the seabed. Despite their weight, several thousand tons each, they are floating and will produce electricity to more than fifteen kilometers from the coast. (Environment).
