Artificial Energy Islands Could Power The World

[alkemical]

Ocean waves are already being used as a source of renewable energy, but could differences in water temperatures in the sea be our next source of green power? A decade old idea to generate renewable electricity for the globe with offshore, floating ‘Energy Islands’ could soon become a reality. The concept - creating artificial islands to collect wind, wave and solar power in the tropics - is based on the work of Jacques-Arsène d’Arsonval, a 19th-century French physicist, who envisioned the idea of using the sea as a giant solar-energy collector.

Tidal energy is another source which should be harnessed.

BS. If you've ever anchored out at the mouth of a river and watched the wake created during incoming and outgoing tides, you'ld realize the power of the tides.

The CBBT between Va and Delaware would be a prime location for turbines to be installed.

This is one great idea.

I love being on, in and under the water. Preferably deep blue or aqua colored with lots of "creatures" to chase.
