Loading ...undersea cables was sparked earlier by the ZH article on the Moroccan solar farm for the UK being cancelled. The maps showed the cable going close to the Spanish and French shores rather than straight across the Bay of Biscay. The reason I found was that dangling a cable in three miles of water makes it too heavy. Bearing in mind it has to pay out at an angle you might have four or five miles of cable, many many tons, just hanging off the back of the boat and it would snap. They can lay aluminium cored lines deeper than copper ones for that reason.
