July 27, 20214 yr Given that sea level rise is going to be a huge issue, with the US alone having to spend $400 billion on defences by 2040, the notion of cities on the ocean seems a great idea. I love this seament, stick a metal bar in the ocean and the minerals form around it. OTEC power generation sounds great too. Edited July 27, 20214 yr by martin-w

July 28, 20214 yr Since Florida is so low it's ripe for sea level rising and would be ideal for cities on the ocean. But looking at the picture on the screen introducing the video I wonder how it would stand up to Cat 4 or 5 hurricane. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
