Offshore Wind Energy Substations pollute the ocean with 80-10 million gallons of discharge a day.

The offshore wind energy project, SouthCoast Wind, will build up to five offshore substations to cool down and convert the high-voltage AC cables to high-voltage DC cables. They use an open loop system that will draw up 8-10 million gallons of cold ocean water from deep in the ocean and discharge it back containing chlorinated bleach and warmed to almost 90 degrees.
