  1. 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.

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

  3. 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.
