U2's Tower of Babel?
Who would have guessed that U2 would be the target of environmental protesters? In an attempt to spend some of their immense fortune, the rock band gone real estate investment firm is drawing up plans to build the tallest building in Ireland. The 'U2 tower' has quickly become a major bone of contention between the globally-conscious rockers and environmentalists in their hometown.
Apparently, Dublin's eco-conscious contend that the developers have not undertaken the proper surveys to determine the building's environmental impact on the surrounding area. They also complain that the building's design doesn't take rising sea levels into account, as it would sit on the mouth of Dublin Bay -- that seems a little pessimistic.
