If they can keep the delivery cost down and lower the cost per kw, I say build more of em'.
The world is eventually going to run out of fossil fuels. Many people have a mindset of "we don't need it now, so let's not worry about it." I agree with you, if delivery costs can be kept low enough, build as many of those puppies as possible. I'm sure your number of 3/4ths is accurate (from a "reported to the public" sense, we'll see how it actually pans out), I couldn't find the article I read a few days ago.

Unfortunately for the Kennedy's and the people with shore access on the southern Cape, that area is perfect for this application - offshore, consistent winds, relatively shallow waters.
