The Earth has an enormous natural solar collector - the tropical oceans. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a technology that can extract useful work from solar energy stored in the sea. It may be one of our best hopes for the environmentally clean, sustainable solutions we need to solve our global energy and environmental problems.

Wind energy industries are growing, and as we look for alternative power sources, the growth potential is through the roof. Two industry watchers take a look at generating energy from wind and wave action and the potential to alter the energy landscape.

The technical and policy difficulties of harnessing ocean energy.
