Well, we could always use them as the basis for an artificial atoll. Sink them in a ring, maybe fill them with sand dredged from the bottom, and let coral do it’s work. If we do it in a shallow area, with maybe 15m depth… we could then fill the center with dredged sand as well.

This is the biggest of all the problems. Where to find such area in international waters? I am not an oceanographer, but I bet that if somebody find one shallow area in international waters, beyond 200 nautical miles from any country, this person would be the luckiest person of the world.

In January 2010, a license to develop a wind farm in Dogger Bank was granted to a consortium of developers. The wind farm is projected to develop up to 9 gigawatts of power, as part of a planned nine zone project of 32 gigawatts. Construction is scheduled to start around 2014 at the earliest.

That’s from the wikipedia on it…

And? Not all of Dogger bank is within UK waters…

Best places to go for are probably disputed areas of the ocean – shallow, but no-one’s going to bother you for quite a while, because they’ll all be fighting among themselves about who is allowed to bother you. By which point, the UN will recognise that you have a nation there, which will solve the dispute…

Besides, I’m not sure if EEZ’s are actually an obstacle. Jurisdiction doesn’t apply to artificial islands?
