UltraFuture, a global thinktank announced that they are supporting a concept called Energy Islands, described as "Modular man-made islands featuring sustainable, high-output power generation and water desalination facilities."
The islands are floating renewable energy platforms utilizing a variety of clean alternative energy sources including Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion. Each island can be as large as 1 square kilometer and generate up to 250 megawatts of electricity for local use and export. An estimated 50,000 Energy Islands would entirely meet the world's current energy needs, eliminating the need to build a single polluting land-based power plant.
UltraFuture plans to reveal more information at the US-China Green Tech Summit in Shanghai on November 12-14.
