a new idea for power production
I was thinking at work today since I really had nothing else to do. I was thinking that there must be another way to make power that is both environmentally friendly and reliable or in other words always on. Wind power just is not reliable enough. I was thinking maybe the currents that exist all throughout the ocean. They are very strong and reliable; they do not change. We could build thousands of windmills like turbines on the ocean floor that would produce an amazing amount of power that did not deplete any resource.
This may not be as cheap as our current power system is but we have to change to something because it is well known we are peaking in oil production and coal will only be a cheap alternative for the next few generations. The way I see it there are three options nuclear, wind, or water.
I was just kind of spitballing an idea and wondered what all of you think.
