Floating ocean power plants eyed for pollution free energy
Edward K. Delong reports on NSF funded studies by TRW and Lockheed into floating ocean thermal energy conversion to generate 100 to 500 megawatts per plant. Concepts include offshore Gulf Stream installations, using warm surface water and deep cold water to drive turbines, with potential hydrogen production for land use. Early trials date to 1929 and 1956 but large scale success remains unproven.
