Electricity would be really easy to control to the point that it shouldn't even be an issue in anyones mind. Anyone who has tinkered with it before will know that "plugs" and "wires" aren't the only things one can use to control it's flow. Plumbing, on the other hand, I have no clue how that would work. “…how will plumbing and other utilities be provided to apartments?”

This ain't gonna happen unless George Jetson is elected in November.

"The towers are expected to generate enough electricity for themselves and other nearby buildings from solar panels and up to 79 wind turbines fitted horizontally between each floor." it says it right there in the page. there's a better video on the BBC news website that explains it better how will they be powered?

If this actually works, it will look amazing. Fisher claims he’ll make the plumbing work by using technology similar to how they refuel jets mid-flight. If this actually works, it will look amazing.

But only maybe. I'm still confused about power generation. How can the power it takes to rotate a floor not offset any gains made by the rotation?

My guess is you'd have to have the kitchen and bathrooms on the main concrete core. The other rooms could rotate around them. I just don't know how you'd get water to work otherwise. interesting idea, good luck actually making it work. My guess is you’d have to have the kitchen and bathrooms on the main concrete core.
