It uses the temperature differential between the warm surface water and the cold deep water to generate electricity and potable water. Therefore this type of energy is particularly suited to tropical zones.<\/p>\n<p>We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re likely to hear more about OTEC if the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theonproject.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">ON Project<\/a> can achieve its goal to spread the word about it. It calls itself a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153hub where individuals can learn about the benefits of OTEC, including 24\/7 renewable energy and clean, potable water\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/p>\n<p>The over-arching goal of the initiative is to raise awareness about how OTEC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s environmental, humanitarian, and economic benefits can significantly improve life across the globe, but mainly in the tropics.<\/p>\n<p>The OnProject is sponsored by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.otecorporation.com\" target=\"_blank\">OTE Corporation<\/a>, a company that produces clean energy and drinking water. The company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s history goes back to 1998 and its roots are in Hawaii, where its operational headquarters are. Its corporate headquarter is in Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n<p><em>Video about Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion<\/em><br \/>\n<object width=\"400\" height=\"265\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/bMhbvPai2uY?version=3&amp;hl=pt_BR\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/bMhbvPai2uY?version=3&amp;hl=pt_BR\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You should follow us <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/energyrefuge\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li>No Related Posts Found!
