World's Largest Ocean Thermal Power Plant Planned For China
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."
You realize the USA extends much further south than Nantucket, right?
Yes, but no place much further south than Nantucket is worth going to.
However, we might still be able to use some of that beach front real estate for OTEC. Or perhaps the poster is suggesting OTEC for Nantucket (or referring to the fact that Nantucket is a excellent place for offshore wind, blocked by various NIMBY's)
