Problems with the blog
Published February 15, 2010 | We use some tools from Google to run OTEC News. Google announce the other day that they are going to stop supplying some of the tools we have been using to run OTEC News from 1 May 2010. This means that we will have to move it to another system.

McKillop also mentions OTEC as one of the “almost totally ignored large-potential renewable energy resources“.
Name change of OTEC News
Published July 14, 2006 | 
The observant may notice that we have changed name. We have changed name from OTECnews to OTEC News. Why such a minor change? An important part of the traffic to the site is driven by search engines.
