...Ocean thermal energy conversion, or OTEC, is decades away from full development, but one OTEC scientist feels that it may one day deliver as much energy from Hawaiian waters alone as the entire U.S. now consumes.

Then the gaseous ammonia is cooled by subsurface waters, converted back to a liquid and repeats the process all over again. In 1979 a floating mini-OTEC plant generated a net 15 kilowatts per hour, making it the first such plant to produce more energy than...
