Green gimmicks always fail. But like all leftist policies, that just means more money has to be put into making them work.
The SeaPod, developed by the ocean-innovation technology company Ocean Builders, was meant to be the first of many pieces of “revolutionary blue technology,” the company’s mission statement says, meant to make “the 72% of the world that is covered in water into an eco-sustainable paradise.”
The ultra-minimalist home has an 830-square-foot living space divided into three levels, featuring all of the home essentials including a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and space for storage.
It doesn’t state how many of those 830-square-feet are actually underwater.
At its grand unveiling on September 22, a futuristic luxury model home meant to float on the water toppled over in front of an audience that included Panama’s president, Laurentino Cortizo.
According to Autoevolution, local media covered the unveiling of the prototype but neglected to mention, for lack of a better term, what truly went down at the event. Naturally, though, videos of the collapse surfaced on social media shortly after:
Environmental measures never fail. The media just doesn’t cover their failures and then unleashes fact checks to explain why they never failed.
Ecoparadise will have to wait another day. Or a million or a billion.
I laughed when I saw the photo before I even read about it. As if mankind could clutter all the coasts with dopey aqua pods and power them. If you want to pretend you’re amphibious, go buy a houseboat on Lake Union, morons.
It reminds me of a commercial for some bullshit TV special coming out about two “eco sustainable paradise” homes, one in the Sonoran Desert and another next to a lake in Wisconsin. The owners of the one in NM, who looked exactly as dorky and ugly as you’d expect, (especially the brutessa,) boasted that it was self sustaining and luxurious. They’re half right. It obviously cost at least a cool million to build, the maintenance costs are obviously higher than any savings they claim on energy and their meager food gardens, and I have no doubt it’s as dysfunctional as the Sea Man house that tipped over. And good luck waiting for the cops when criminals come to your house in the middle of nowhere.
The house in WI looked cute from the outside but that’s all that was shown. I do know that only an idiot would live directly next to a lake in WI, which will have arctic level cold winds blowing off the ice in Winter and clouds of voracious mosquitos all Spring and Summer. Clouds.
Only a moron could watch the upcoming series or one episode special or whatever. Most people who like fantasies will just watch “Game of Thrones” or something more believable like that. Netflix still has a lot of that crap even after its cutbacks.
Amusing and tragic.
If the thing capsizes in still water, how will it fare out on the ocean?
It will do quite well being kept stable and buoyant by the owner’s smugness.
LOL!
Meh, stop trying to be logical. This is just one more “green and sustainable” failure to add to the already long list of failures – can you say “Solyndra”?
But logic never stops the left from doing what the left does so well, living in an alternate reality, and destroying everything it touches.
Sink or swim, right?
F’ing retards.
where does the crap go? into the harbor?
It has to be connected to sewer, water and electricity. An awful lot of money to save a tiny bit of real estate. They would still have to pay taxes or dockage fees. DUH.
Exactly.
The greenies think we’re stupid enough to fall for their lies.
The ONLY thing sustainable that the left has is; their greed for other peoples wealth and their lust for power. In the end, they will even fail at that.
Excellent analysis.
Trying to sustain a steady income off an unsustainable product is not a sustainable life-style.
The smart ones can see it without having to try it.
Glug….. glug glug. I’m floating in a sea of love…
I am still waiting for the universally promised “flying car” of my 1950’s youth. Every generation, so it seems, must have its dreams of Nirvana wrenched from them by reality.
Really, it’s only twenty years off. As are fusion power and any other dream you might have. In fact, it’s always been twenty years off and always will be. But in twenty years the dream of a full belly and a warm house will be forty years off in the future.
A press interview with the designer of the green contraption would be good. One could possibly discover what collection of fools with more money than sense funded it. The designer and the builder probably came away with plenty of money. The designer was green alright as in green=inexperienced. Most woke green experiments are stupendous failures. Am award for most ridiculous failure is in order here.
Like a Darwin Award for green experiments.
