Consider the wave generation plant an Aussie firm wanted to put at
Point Judith.

????? Recreational thing?



What the hell are you supposed to do when everybody has a better idea
or some complaint?

Forgetting about scenery for the moment, I'd raise the penalties for oil
platform screwups to include mandatory prison time for upper management, and
fines set as a percentage of net profits, rather than flat numbers. Most of
those platforms run pretty cleanly, and even organizations like Sierra Club
admit as much. If they don't, it's one of two things: Outrageous natural
disasters, or sloppiness. You can't fault the operators for the former, but
for the latter, why not bring them to their knees?
