Then there's the ocean.
- Terr_ 8y agoI'm imagining the solitary life of a caretaker living in a little ship that travels the canals between acres of floating cross-linked solar panels, fixing wiring and washing off salt deposits. Poetically, it would be a tale of isolation out in the middle of the Pacific, but I suppose you'd need to stay close enough to shore that you can transmit the power using wires, unless it's batched up in chemical storage.
- fyfy18 8y agoIf you perform electrolysis of sea water the main products given off would be hydrogen and bleach, both of which could be piped or shipped (if you filled an oil tanker with hydrogen, would it be lighter than air?) back to shore. Although a leak of bleach into the ocean may not be very good, it's probably no worse than the damage done from oil.
- TaylorAlexander 8y agoI like the poetry. :)
