  1. Both the State and Federal government are involved in this, I've been closely monitoring the progress, Warren Buffett has made some investment, and Elon is hungry for cheaper lithium. This will be done, and sooner than later.

  2. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion was first proposed in 1880s. During the 1970s and ’80s the United States, Japan, and several other countries began experimenting with OTEC systems in an effort to develop a viable source of renewable energy. In 1979 American researchers put into operation the first OTEC plant able to generate usable amounts of electric power—about 15 kilowatts of net power.

  3. AZ needs power and water infrastructure. Desalination plants south and west to feed AZ. San Diego has the largest desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. Let's power them with modular nuclear and make the Southwest Desert Bloom.

  4. I remember the OTEC projects in the 1970s/80s, and I naively invested.

  5. Not cars, but buses. Here in California Hi-Speed Rail has been a total failure, billions of dollars spent over 3 decades and nothing built, just this week cost-overrun increased by another 5 billion dollars. Rail is old technology regardless of how fast, Elon Musk has a better plan, but he's being chased out of California.

  6. When we voted for the bond issue, we thought hi-speed commuter trains from the newly built expensive suburbs in Stockton to San Francisco was a great idea. World economic events changed all that.

  7. Yes, it was called OTEC and I invested in it, too, 1970s early 1980s, never scaled, then energy prices went down as other technologies surpassed the ROI.

  8. Global Rubber prices are flat, down from 2017, and half of what the price was in 2011. This is a churlish, "child's" view of how the world works, AGAIN, DW, again.

  9. Fake, appears to be public relations video for bond holders. Light Rail in California has become a rolling homeless shelter, and MetroLink is often a nightmare to ride. The Central Valley would have been better served by Desalination plants and tunnels pumping water through Tehachapi, not a train to nowhere.
