Moonbat Tech: Coral Reef Haitian Eco-Village

Written By : Dave Blount

Once again (see here and here and here) moonbats would like to exploit picturesquely squalid Haiti as a testing ground for concepts so insane, not even Democrats dare impose them closer to home.

As Haiti marches onward towards reconstruction, Vincent Callebaut continues to pump out amazing concepts for utopian eco villages for Haitians. Inspired by the organic form of coral, Callebaut proposes Coral Reef, a plug-in matrix for 1,000 Haitian families. Built upon seismic piers off the coast of the mainland, the prefabricated, modular units can be fit into a wave-like matrix as space is needed. Each family would have a plot of land to grow their own food, and their passive home would minimize energy usage, while renewable energy sources would make the entire project carbon neutral.

Why is Haiti allegedly marching “onward towards reconstruction”? Because last year it was devastated by one of the earthquakes that are common there — though not as common as hurricanes.

The hurricanes ought to set those windmills to spinning, at least until the entire architectural joke falls over on top of them.

On a tip from Jander. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

Pretty picture, no?

Now picture it as Haiti really looks – drying laundry hanging off of every nook and cranny, faded signs plastered on every imaginable surface, mountains of empty plastic water bottles lying about, other trash blown into all the corners, chickens running loose all over, people perched any and everywhere.

Think Cabrini Green only more squalor, mon.

They’re living in tune with mother earth, they have a tiny carbon footprint and eschew the wasteful extravagance so common in the western world.

Rather than pitying them we should look for ways to copy their lifestyle here.

So… its like New Orleans, then.

At the very least, a civil engineer should be hired to do a cursory check on things that an architect might not have considered, such as gravity.”

So they’re going to go straight from a ravaged hellhole to eco-friendly self-sustained nation?

A couple of questions: 1) weren’t they already pretty green and even more green now? 2) what happens to those things the first time a hurricane or earthquake hits (oh but that will never happen). 3) is there any evidence these will function as promised given that every other such scheme has been a total failure and waste of money when attempted in real life.

And of course; who is going to pay for all this?

Notice all the birds lining up to be torn to shreds by the blades of the windmills? Carry an umbrella when walking home!

There will be a lot of rich politicians in Haiti if anyone tries to build that crackerjack building.

Yeah that looks somewhat less than hurricane safe to me.
