Unconventional proposals to ease energy crisis explored
National science panels study off shore windmills tidal dams and space based solar power as possible electricity sources. Proposals include giant offshore wind farms producing hydrogen, floating heat engines using Gulf Stream gradients, solar satellite systems beaming power ashore, and solar farms in arid states. Researchers say breakthroughs could occur before 2000 though practicality remains uncertain.
