Tapping seafloor volcanic ventsDr. Robert Peltier,
PEPages: 123The attraction of renewable energy sources is that nature continuously replenishes them. As fuels, they may not be infinitely renewable or completely environmentally benign, but they all have one thing in common: a smaller carbon footprint than fossil fuels. Examples that come to mind include power

In the 1970s the concept of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion or OTEC was proven technically feasible, but not economic. Oil and gas prices were just too low.

Ocean thermal energy conversion
Sci-Tech Dictionary: ocean thermal-energy conversion
LONG & SCIENTIFIC READING
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC or OTE[1]) is a method for generating electricity which uses the temperature difference that exists between deep and shallow waters to run a heat engine. As with any heat engine, the greatest efficiency and power is produced with the largest temperature difference. This temperature difference generally increases with decreasing latitude, i.e. near the equator, in the tropics. Historically, the main technical challenge of OTEC was to generate significant amounts of power, efficiently, from this very small temperature ratio. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
