Sarkozy mentions OTEC
David Levrat tells us that the French president-elect Sarkozy mentions OTEC in a recent interview with Mer et Marine.

"La mer tropicale est Žgalement une source majeure d'Žnergies renouvelables, malheureusement inexploitŽe aujourd'hui. Leur dŽveloppement passe par une recherche appliquŽe pertinente sur l'Žolien offshore, sur l'hydrolien et surtout sur l'Žnergie thermique des mers, actuellement ignorŽe."

English translation: "Tropical sea is also a major source of renewable energies, unfortunately not harvested today. Their development requires applied research on offshore wind energy, currents energy and especially OTEC, actually unknown [or ignored, it is the same word used in French]" Thanks to David for the translation. posted by bjelkeman at 20:36
