There is a growing consensus as to the degree renewable energy sources will be able to contribute to the energy mix in the next 20 years. However there is one element that may be underestimated; the power of the oceans.

Approximately two-thirds of the earth is covered by oceans and seas. This large surface area captures a huge amount of solar heat naturally. This results in a thermal gradient between the top and the bottom of the oceans which can be harvested in a variety of different ways for the generation of electricity. Local variations in sunlight lead to the geographical temperature differences that power ocean currents and the displacement of air. Those can be harvested by marine current power stations and off-shore wind farms. The wind also creates waves which can be used to generate electricity. Finally, the gravity of the moon moves the sea causing tidal variances; movements that can be harvested by tidal power stations.

The combined potential of all those generation systems in the coming decades is still largely unknown.

OH GOD FINALLY! Oceans and seas surely are HUGE energy sources.

Good to know that if we are ever stranded on an island we'll have portable ocean-powered generators. -------------------- *The artist formerly known as LKA* may as well finalize the sig while I can hurrtube channel

.....what kind of post is that?

it's usually when we use other types of fuel they pollute the world

but with using water, wouldn't it just end up evaporating? still im glad this idea is finally going to get used

yeah they NEED the ocean space because wind generators, wave generators, and thermocouples are all inefficient as ****

THere will be an electrolysis machine inside every car to seperate the hydrogen from the oxygen in the water. The oxygen is then expelled into the atmosphere, where it can start another chemical reaction to make more water. But isn't water used to create electricity? --------------------
