Solutions to the Energy Crisis

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC)

    1. Similar to an air conditioner, the OTEC moves water around a system of tubes to create steam energy, turn turbines, and generate power.
    2. Nobody knows how this will affect the ocean; it can potentially raise the temperature of the oceans.
    3. This issue can be avoided by building a man-made lake deep enough to use this system.
    4. Government subsidized green energy, like solar panels.
