It looks like a giant, old-fashioned manual lawnmower, but a new power turbine in the far reaches of Maine could be the most exciting thing the energy industry has seen in years. In the next few weeks, the structure — 98 feet long and 16 feet high — will be lowered into the frigid coastal waters and bolted to a support frame on the sea floor.
