You do not need an island to do this. That is the beauty of it.
Yeah I can see the drug attics that @RojoLoco was talking about, over on the right... though he's headed in the wrong direction. Like he passed out and just sailed on by.

@IRJ said in US Completes First Offshore Windfarm:
P.S. I used to have a neighbor that used solely green energy. They used wind and solar on their house. We lived on the west bank of the lagoon which is ideal for wind ( bad for boating), but good for energy.
If money were no object, I'd be using thermal. You can get it anywhere, but drilling a deep enough well is what makes it prohibitively expensive, and it's not so great on a large scale yet from what I know. Secondary to that would be a Thorium or PBR reactor, but the smallest of those are town sized units.
I too would like my own nuclear reactor... I solemnly swear that I will do very little evil with it....
Good luck producing any fissionable materials with either of those. Physics protecting us from @MattSpeller.

If you look really close @RojoLoco...

Pfffft I can do tons of fun stuff if you give me half a megawatt to play with. Don't need fissionables for what I have in mind

Half a megawatt? You're a real innovator then. I need at least 1.21 gigawatts to do anything spectacular.

We just passed the solar trucks on the corner installing solar on my neighbour's house.

Oh heavens, that's an after thought to protect all my cool businesses
I'd have a metal smelting furnace or 4
Water desalination plant to produce bottled water and locally sourced organic west coast hipster approved sea salt
.... the options are endless!

Enormous capacitor bank to feed my home brewed RailGun that would only ever be used for good I totally promise

In recent new TPB uses drones off-shore to keep operations afloat, interrupts off-shore wind mills...

I'd use the proceeds to start Canada's only firearms ammunition manufacturing company, smelting the lead bars myself from recycled car batteries.
Oh, also, recycling plastics (HUGELY energy intensive, could easily take all 500KW on it's own)

You guys have Moose and bears yet you don't produce ammo? What the heck do you do to hunt then, strangle the animals.....
I mean I know Canadians can be tough, but dang...

Canada has no ammunition factories? I'd be so bummed about not having any... Every town in Idaho I've lived in makes bullets. Not just reloads in someone's basements, but big businesses.
Like CCI (Spear, ATK). Anyone who's done some serious shooting in the USA knows what CCI is. Their headquarters was just down the street in Lewiston, ID.

We import it all from our ludicrously well armed Southern neighbours.
PS: please give Canada ITAR exemptions, because we have cool guns but no companies to make the ammo. With no limit on caliber it's 100% legal to own artillery, flak and anti-tank guns here. I need some 40mm bofors!
