Ocean energy challenges technology; grows

Abstract

Several possibilities under consideration by US DOE for tapping the solar energy resources inherent in the ocean are discussed, including ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), ocean biomass, ocean waves, ocean currents, offshore winds, tidal power and salinity gradients. The potentials for these systems and their political and economic support are analyzed.
