retarded scientists... Well if you need a boat in order to power the propelers.. Well, why don't they tow it with the boat, thus saving the money for the propelers and a power generator.. scientists?

[Lukemabob]

we pump sewage into the ocean... god forbid there are... FISH FEACEAS IN THERE TOO =0

wait i think somethings wrong :|

[Luis Rivera]

The currents move the tanks. They only use the propellors when they get off course

[ViridianGym]

why dont they put the generater in a water proof thing and equipet it with the cage ?

[Kevin Sullivan]

The daily faecal matter of one passing whale is a thousand times greater than anything those fish can produce.

If they kept it in one spot long enough a host of life forms will appear to feast on the plankton and micro life that is feeding on the fish poo

[ramon ramirez]

if one person poops in the woods its ok, 2, 3 peaple also ok 48,000 pooping in the same spot it kills whatever is there causes disease and smells horrible. same concept if a cage is kept in one area you kill it and cause much parasites and disease

How stupid are you? It just said that the propellers propel the cage if it drifts too far.

[OsbornTramain]

doing it robotically, reduces risks of human life lost in accidents at sea. It's also cost effective because you can do it remotely and thus not have financial costs of boats and human crews. They can be also moved away from Storms ahead of time before a boat can actually reach it if there's a quick moving storm on the horizon.
