Brilliant idea for ocean based power generation on front page of the Financial Times yesterday

[flvegan]

22. Maybe I'm just a cynic, but

when I see the folks involved, I don't see any sort of altruism or human benefit. What I see is a way to provide continuous power and data for AI/data centers, even if things go...wrong (lets use that word) in the home country. The same people who are building off-grid, self sustained panacea islands, man made or otherwise, and buying self sustaining ocean-going ships, airplanes, whatever to get out and stay out of dodge for however long, are simply making sure they can continue to make their money uninterrupted via this new ocean bound solution.

And I don't believe for a minute, that all that bobbing, pressure, intake is NOT going to kill every single thing it comes into contact with. It'll have a nice, strong filter to keep anything that's not seawater out. It won't prejudice between seaweed, debris or ocean life. They don't care.
