		<description>That example photo of the oil platform with a &#039;radio tower&#039; on it is grossly under utilized, in regards to available locations for turbines.... why is that? I see only 4 turbines where the space available could support 3 times as many turbines along one side alone, and these towers have 4 sides. Maybe the towers that are used aren&#039;t able to support the amount of turbines I proposed?</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s a good idea.  Tom - you can thank Congress &amp; EPA +  N.Polosie for that mess as that&#039;s when the price rose from $2.65 to over $4.00+ in two years. The Presedent can&#039;t do nothing unless congress approves - remember!!!!!!

 We can&#039;t drill offshore &quot;they say&quot;, but everyone else does. Oh yes -- thats &quot;OUR&quot; shore. China is in the Gulf - just outside our limits making as big a mess as they want &amp; the EPA can&#039;t do nothing about it. But thats OK  huh .</description>

		<description>No it&#039;s not better to do nothing. It&#039;s better to do things that make sense instead of things that make the eco-nazis feel good.



Build nuclear and coal powered plants. Drill for the nearly trillion barrels of oil inside our own country instead of importing it from the middle east.



Build refineries in our country instead of in china and Mexico.



The eco-nuts are causing our country to commit economic suicide.



And the reason you can justify running power to hydro-electric and nuclear plants is because those plants produce massive amounts of power compared to windmills.



And the government shouldn&#039;t subsidize anything. It stifles creativity and sends all the effort towards the money.



To suggest that the internet wouldn&#039;t have evolved without the government is ludicrous. Look at the massive amount of products that have been produced without the government&#039;s help.



Government screws up everything it touches. Let the market decide.</description>

		<description>So, Tom, because there are sometimes hurricanes in the Gulf a small fraction of the year, we should not pursue the idea?  With that kind of thinking there wouldn&#039;t be any oil platforms out there already, would there?

And if subsidies are required to get bio or solar or wind up and running, isn&#039;t that a valid investment in the long run?  The internet was sponsored by the government (the Navy). Nuclear research was largely funded by the government before commercial entities started building power plants.  Public education is paid for by tax payers (that&#039;s us...the people who fund the government).

So it&#039;s better to do NOTHING and give foreign nations all of our money and inherit the security risk by outsourcing the vast majority of our energy needs?

Most of those platforms are much less than 100 miles off shore. I lot closer than hydro-electric dams or nuclear plants are from most of the areas they supply.  What difference does it make?

Thank goodness there are some people out there with vision and positive attitudes.</description>

		<description>I wonder how much underground cable it will take to get all that electricity to shore...



I wonder how many hurricanes it will take to knock it down.



I wonder how much government subsidies it will take to make this stupid idea economically feasible.



This is exactly the kind of silly idea that should be allowed to stand or die on its own merits.</description>
