LOL! You've hit on an interesting point. They'll probably make more from billing it as a tourist attraction... You sell each tourist that comes to see it a $2 can of coke and postcard and you'll recoup your investment in about 10-15 yrs I would reckon.

Yes, but if you put it in an out of the way place, the tourists are going to waste a lot of energy driving to see it. Maybe the tower will be able to power an electric train to and from the nearest city, so that tourists can take the electric train there. Then they can see the tower that powers the train, and finally the tower's electricity can take them and the train back to the city. Then when they get off the train, they can all say to each other, "That was pretty pointless."
