Update on Floating Oases

After a little research I have found that the idea outlined here is actually far from novel. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has an ongoing research project into the concept as part of the development of Mariculture and OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion).

For the latest on Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion as a source of energy, food and fresh water, check out OTEC News. Where we have news, a research library and more about OTEC and related technology issues.
