M hmm. I'm going to predict that within ten years they stop the rotation, because they can't afford the energy bills.
Um, did you listen to the video? At least one of the designs incorporated wind turbines, and was expected to generate ALL it's own power.
No, I didn't. I generally don't on this sort of stuff; conspicuous consumption, with nothing backing it excepting lots of rich people going "oh cool". Problem with cool is, it diverts resources from the people who can't afford it. Which is the majority already, and getting bigger. Even ignoring the morality of things as they stand, we, the rich people, need to do something about that before the poor have their poverty shoved in their faces by some trigger event.
