Floating Wind Turbine Platform

Sterling D. Allan writes "Inventor Tom Lee is nearly ready to strike a deal to install a flotilla of offshore wind turbines, combined with hydrogen-generating capability and battery storage, which he says will enable them to have the consistency needed to be a primary grid energy provider, and not just supplemental to the gird. The floating platform enables them to take the turbines to where the wind blows and birds are few, and people even fewer. His objective in commencing this project 12 years ago was to come up with a power solution for developing nations."

This is great until the next Cat 4 Hurricane, then the whole system goes to hell.

Sorry, I don't normally get this venomous, but you are being fucking retarded. What's your problem - do you have terror-fear on the brain? Sucked in by the New Orleans sensationalism that hurricanes are going to spring up everywhere and eat our children?

Seriously, what the fuck? Is your mind programmed by the tabloid media? I guess if this had happened during the Superbowl, you would be asking "But will this be safe from Janet Jackson's nipples?"
