I've just run across two very interesting blogs that are very much worth taking a look at. I've also posted links to them in the column at right so they will always be up top more or less. They are the OTEC News weBlog, about Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion, and The Green Ocean Project, about using solar energy to distill seawater for agriculture. Both are technologies that can help improve the quality of life and reduce fossil fuel use around the world. The Green Ocean Project also has potential to impact fresh water shortages in terms of providing water for human consumption eventually, although in it's current context it's more about agriculture. Another interesting article is the Seawater Greenhouse, by Fred Pearce. The article is in New Scientist and the project's web site is at the Seawater Greenhouse web site. Go take a peek...
