World's Largest Ocean Thermal Power Plant Planned For China

Posted by Soulskill on from the harvesting-heat-waves dept.

cylonlover writes "Lockheed Martin has been getting its feet wet in the renewable energy game for some time. In the 1970s it helped build the world's first successful floating Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) system that generated net power, and in 2009 it was awarded a contract to develop an OTEC pilot plant in Hawaii. That project has apparently been canceled but the company has now shifted its OTEC sights westward by teaming up with Hong Kong-based Reignwood Group to co-develop a 10 MW pilot plant that will be built off the coast of southern China."

    This is ridiculous, the length limit algorithm needs to be updated, these jackoffs are breaking it somehow, I shouldn't have to hold Page Down for 2 seconds to skip past one comment.

  2. China will steal it by Ugmo · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If it works China will use the partnership to steal any useful technology, produce it themselves and out compete Lockheed. See partnerships with high speed train manufacturers and solar cell production.
