National Energy Shortage

Details about the problem

The United States is experiencing a critical energy shortage which will affect our ability to provide the energy needed for new manufacturing initiatives and especially the very important development of AI server systems. As a result, the major AI server suppliers are developing their own dedicated energy plants. These plants will use a variety of primary energy sources including fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal in addition to nuclear power. To bring these energy plants on-line will take substantial time and significant cost.
A vast untapped energy source is available for immediate utilization to generate electric power and to alleviate the anticipated energy shortfall. This untapped, unlimited source of energy is the Gulf Stream.

Exceptional Energy Density

Ocean currents contain up to 816 times more power than wind at the same velocity due to water’s much higher density, allowing far greater energy generation from a smaller flow volume.

Continuous and Predictable Flow

Unlike wind, major ocean currents move at relatively constant speeds and in consistent directions 24 hours a day, providing steady and reliable power output.

Direct Grid Transmission

Electricity can be generated immediately without fuel extraction or transport and delivered to shore through high-power undersea cables already proven in offshore wind systems.

Weather-Resilient Operation

Turbines installed 150–200 feet below the surface remain unaffected by hurricanes and severe weather, allowing uninterrupted energy production.

Invisible from Shore

Because the energy generation modules operate entirely underwater, they preserve coastal views and avoid the visual impact associated with large offshore wind farms.

Environmentally Friendly

Undersea turbines are designed to operate safely with minimal impact on birds, fish, and surrounding marine ecosystems.

No Interference with Shipping

At depths of 150–200 feet, ocean turbines remain well below commercial shipping lanes and most fishing activity, allowing normal marine operations to continue.

Lower Cost per Megawatt

A 1–2 megawatt ocean current energy module can cost less than half as much as an equivalent offshore wind turbine while using proven, off-the-shelf components.
