Hey, be fair. I'm an American who loves Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican people. If you threw me out (which would be quite difficult considering how heavy (fat) I am) you would not have me working so hard to bring OTEC to Puerto Rico.

And the $64000 ... ( 4 months ago por quadrophenia3)

And the $64000 dollar question is... how much would 40 OTEC plants cost!!! The main problem with alternative fuel sources is exactly that. They are only an alternate power source once 'cheap' oil has run out.
If there is say 1 billion tons of oil left and we burn it all in 1 year or 100 years, what does it matter. It's all going to get burned before people will pay for electricity produced in this way, so party on dudes.

40 OTEC Plants will ... ( 4 months ago por TJPlocek)

40 OTEC Plants will likely cost between 16 and 20 billion dollars and save around 52 million barrels of oil each year. About half of the cost of the units will be for salaries of those designing and building the units. At $70 a barrel for oil, the annual saving will be around $3.6 billion for an annual return over 18% plus the creation of thousands of jobs.

The island needs this project more than ever. Last event proved how dependable we have become to oil that we aren't even taking caution on where we store it. We should, instead, mass produce our own energy source, environmentally speaking.

Methinks these numbers are quite a bit inflated. These plants are very inefficient and the mass flow rates required through the heat exchangers are huge. It could play its part though if the plants could be built cheaply.

check out our web site. About 1.5 cubic miles per year of cold water and about 2.5 cu miles of warm water is needed but the technical viability has been proven. Only the 35 ft diameter pipe has not been commercially demonstrated in other applications.

this sounds great. these should be built immediately. the cost should not even be considered. just make the things now and this country has free energy forever.

Thanks for your ... ( 2 months ago por TJPlocek)

Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately it has been very difficult to obtain support. Even to obtain an order for the electricity (a Power Purchase Agreement). Once a unit is working, it is likely to provide inexpensive renewable energy outside the control of large firms or Governments.

its very frustrating- but only because we currently live in a world driven by profit so the oil cartels will obviously oppose efforts like these. as for efficiency, history has shown that technolopgy continually improves and devices like this will become better and better if we just get on with it and develop them.

Ha, what a joke. ... ( 2 months ago por TamakoAkai)

Ha, what a joke. You and I know that as long as there are trillions to be made in the oil business this efficient way to generate electricity is going to be just an animation and nothing more. Maybe, Sarah Palin will change that sinse NONE of the who have been in office have done S$#* about it.

@TJPlocek
I am a huge supporter of this idea. I honestly don't know what kind of support you would need for this project to be done, or which sources PR could use to finance such a plant, but I guess everything would be easier if we reach a Free Association pact with U.S.A, rather than the colonial Commonwealth status we have now.

@TJPlocek
I say this because if we were to become a state, I don't think it would be good for U.S. to let such a highly oil dependable country do this.

I have been trying to get Puerto Rico to support this for the past 5 years. It now seems likely that it will be developed in Hawaii. A 10 MW Pilot plant is planned by Lockheed Martin for operatin in about 3 years with 100 MW units several years later. The cost will be about twice what we estimated but it is likely to come to pass. Some jobs may come to Puerto Rico, but Puerto Rico will be a customer rather than a leader.

Yay! What an excellent addition to solving the worlds power problems. I love it.

If yes, then WOW !

This is correct. ... ( 1 month ago por TJPlocek)

This is correct. Puerto Rico uses about 4,000 MW of electricity which can be generated by 40 100MW OTEC Units.

You are right, but it also did not happen 4 years ago when we first approached PREPA and in the 1970s when PREPA developed its own 40 MW pilot unit.
