Why I Am Here

The purpose of this blog is to create interest in and educate web readers about the smartest and most effective source of energy available to mankind, energy that is inexhaustible, available and has virtually zero detrimental environmental effect on our planet.
Most people do not know about this energy source, and most of those who do know about it base their misconceptions on sources that are decades out of date. The purpose of this blog is to make that right.
The energy source I am writing about is Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion technology, a technology that is currently being exploited and developed by a very small number of futuristic companies, most based in Hawaii and the Pacific Rim. The foremost of these companies is Ocean Engineering & Energy Systems in Honolulu and is run by a old friend and former college roommate of mine, Dr. Hans-Jurgen Krock.
In the course of posting this blog, I will attempt to explain, to the best of my ability, what OTEC is and why it should be considered the ONLY viable and practical replacement for the deadly fossil fuel energy catastrophe that is identified as a major culprit, if not the major culprit, in Global Warming.
In later postings I will set out the details of this energy source and will attempt to respond to every serious question posed.
With the possible exception of Population Control, there is no other issue more critical to the fate of the world we will leave our children and grandchildren. So far in this twenty-first century we have proved to be rotten stewards of this planet. We can change that. We must change that and future generations will hold us accountable for the decisions we make today and tomorrow.
