Lockheed Martin and U.S. Navy Develop New Clean Ocean Energy System

Secret Clean Energy Stash Discovered in Oceans

Lockheed Martin , the company better known for airborne innovation, is developing a way to mine renewable energy that is literally just sitting there in the ocean, waiting for someone to reach out and grab it. The new system, a twist on ocean thermal energy conversion , is considered one of those “disruptive” technologies that could bring about a sea change (sorry, couldn’t resist) in the way ships, robots and other oceangoing equipment power their operations, in addition to providing a steady supply of energy for landlubbers. Hidden Energy in the Ocean According to Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Jim Pearce, ocean thermal conversion (OTEC) systems located in tropical waters could generate up to five terawatts of power without affecting the ambient temperature of the ocean. That would be five terawatts of clean, renewable “base” power. Like geothermal, OTEC systems operate...

Imagine if ORNL had been spending time and money on this type of energy generation rather than on #nuclear or LFTR BS [link]
