Hm, a related website says that building you term a hotel is actually an "Accomodation Platform" for on-site personnel, not for tourists: [www.dongenergy.com]

I suppose it could be both, or of course I could be missing something here. But, where does the claim that it's a hotel originate in the first place?

(Cuz I'd kinda want to go. :P)

You all are going to be sorry when this power generating scheme slows the earth's rotational period by a tenth of a picosecond over the next 10 years.

a study by the European Wind Energy Association showed offshore wind could be the dominant source of employment in the sector in Europe by 2025, providing 200,000 jobs.

Meanwhile Stateside, Massachusetts blocks a windfarm that might spoil view for a handful of Martha's Vineyard residents.

I dont like the look of that floating hotel platform!! Im having flashbacks of the sea lab in Deep Blue Sea. It would be made much worse if Sam Jackson checked in too!!!
