This thing would cost as much to build as the freaking Saturn V rocket.

This is fantastic. Now time for a large scale introduction!

Have you considered that the oil companies need new venues to earn their money, and therefore consider wind and wave power as projects?

I don't think you realize the size of the structure. They're talking about scaling these up in size to the height of the Empire State building. (not this one in particular)

Oil companies think... offshore drilling platforms.
They have the experience and the equipment necessary.

A video of the real operation would have been cool.

So exactily how much money will the oil companies waste on trying to proove that wind energy won't be good ? Think about it - why are they putting windmills out in deep water ? A floating windmill is bound to have terrible problems. This idea will fail. It's a petrolium company that's doing it. Make any sense ?

Geez, these guys are dinosaurs in their construction techniques. Should have floated the whole structure in one and up ended it. Job done.
This is great, now just build more.
