For those of you who came to find out what the hell is a semi submersible wind turbine, it appears there are ballast tanks which allow it to balance and move up/down slightly.

I guess is just a given feature (or even requirement) of a floating wind turbine based on the info in the article? Still pretty interesting nevertheless.
