Hey Dude, There's nothing to get so concerned about - I was on Islay when the Hurricane hit on Christmas 1998, I saw the waves (from more than 2 miles away) and there's no shortage - know what I'm saying? Islay is stuck out there between Scotland and the US - there's more than enough waves to go around.
PD.
The thing is - I've actually *been there* - I've stood on top of this thing.
In answer to your particular query there is *VERY* little impact of any kind on the surrounding country (Islay is where some of my family lives and is one of the best paradises left in this country (Scotland)) the only thing you notice is a very small block of concrete nestled between the rocks and a whole shit load of noise, I went to see
the new Wavegen site (there is a pre-existing one which was a test bed) in a storm and it's LOUD *;)
Why not go see for your self? You wouldn't mind a few of them around if you had seen one.
Oh Yes, and I know I wasn't supposed to climb on top. Sorry.
PD.
