Engineers Propose Lily Pad-Like Floating Cities
Zothecula writes "The idea of going offshore to satisfy our renewable energy needs isn't new, but the grand vision of Japan's Shimizu Corporation goes way beyond harnessing green energy at sea for use in cities on Terra firma — it takes the whole city along for the ride.

Yeah, but he got +5 and I got -1... so this has nothing to do with the content of the posts, but rather the fact that the mods apparently think mentioning the city that's been swamped, flooded, oiled up, and spat out in anything other than a glowingly positive light is blasphemy and a hanging offense.
"I disagree with you -- eat -1, Troll, evil do-er!"
*shakes head* Whatever... I got plenty more karma to burn stating the truth even when it hurts some delicate snowflake's worldview.
