Tapping the energy in the ocean currents Gigantic underwater turbines/like windmill Relatively steady velocity/intermittent of wind, solar radiations No need for energy storage The energy available is enormous Serious proposals have put forth to construct ocean current turbines with electricity produced then cabled to shore Economically?
