Will oceanic thermal gradients offer endless, cheap power?
Don't know enough about this to judge how promising this technology is, or how well researched the article is - but, this part caught my eye: The US military has plans to build a plant off Diego Garcia, their base in the Indian Ocean, which should have an output of 8MW and be running by the end of 2011; another project is underway to build a 10-20MW plant off the coast of Hawaii. The US government granted $600,000 to Lockheed Martin, a company well known for their aeronautics research, in hopes that the technology will eventually lead to a plant capable of producing 500MW of power.
