Vincent Callebaut’s Lilypad Concept could be the Future Refuge from Global Warming Effects
The Lilypad, designed by French architect Vincent Callebaut, is a city at sea, inspired by the houseboats and water lilies from the Amazon region. Each Lilypad city, accommodating about 50 thousand people, could someday be the self-sufficient home for displaced people in the future.

I am well aware of your efforts with The Seasteading Institute. I understand the concept of and I am in fact a supporter of the core values underlying a resource based economy. I must admit that I believe the sort term transition from the current economic model offers near insurmountable obstacles if confronted. However there are immediate steps that may be possible.
My partner and I are developing a renewable energy technology that can produce dispatchable power at and above the scale of nuclear with no significant negative environmental impact. We are attracting global interest and support. Our technology patent was granted and published in the US August 23rd, 2011. Our patent is pending around the world. The resources we are taping are normally found in International Waters.
Our patented technology has the potential to provide unlimited clean energy by taping the resources of subsea hydrothermal vents and then transmitted and sold into the terrestrial grid. There are several other revenue streams associated with our technology. We are currently planning our first 1GW project for development in the Pacific Northwest US. This first project will be located 300 miles west of the Washington, Oregon coast in the area of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. We will be developing a community at sea in International Waters. The revenue generated by sale of sustainable base load, dispatchable electricity will be more than sufficient to justify the project cost and operation: http://youtu.be/F6-_UTU_bJ0
If there were an interest on your part in exploring mutual synergy I would be interested in discussions.
