Sea power eyed to cut oil costs as Hawaii scales 1980s plan
Federal energy officials say oil prices will rise within 10 to 20 years, making ocean thermal energy economical for warm weather states. A model sea water power plant is planned for Hawaii in the 1980s with 600-foot generating barges offshore, using ammonia vaporization to drive turbines. Westinghouse and other firms propose alternative steam methods, forecasting electricity cheaper than oil by 1995 but at higher construction cost.
