If I were investing in Jojo's system I'd look at what is known about comparable wave energy costs structures from actual experience and then compare his projections with what is known to see where there are big differences and why.
There may come a time when I will do that since I am very much interested in making seasteading a rapid doubling time business -- but at present I'm more interested in solving the problems downstream from energy such as what do you do with all the chlorine output by electrolytic production of CaCO3 for seasteads.
