Rigged

From oil rig to luxury eco-resort

The old rig would be transformed from environmental hazard into something of an environmental savior through the use of wind, wave and solar power, all easily integrated into the existing structure.

Even if this idea fails, I like the concept. Repurposed structures are the best kind.
