Your own link explains why it's not 'pointless':
There is no data on maintenance costs, possible environmental impacts on the marine environment or potential engineering problems that could arise with a full-scale model — not an enticing combination for private investment. ... The pilot is needed to produce the information necessary to attract investment for a large-scale model ...

- Steko 11y ago> Old link was for announcing the original pilot and they've built that one, You seem confused about something, that link is announcing a 5-10 MW system they didn't build. Or rather what they built is the system that you're calling useless. > they are already scaling it in China and other places why not scale it in the US? That question is answered in the comment you replied to. China doesn't care about things like marine life and runs on giant government capital investments.
- dogma1138 11y agoWell you sure seem to think so, while everything pointing to the fact that they are just bringing the initial pilot to full capacity rather than developing or scaling the technology further.
