I think this is actually a great opportunity to green power generation. Build a solar and wind infrastructure. This is in Florida so they have plenty of sun all year round. Its not an overnight fix and will of course require large amounts of money but it can be the beginning of something big. In addition, the US is beginning to face a clean water crisis, and desalination could be a fix. Take the left over salt and send it to the power plants to use for molten salt power storage. Build turbines off shore along the coasts. The US needs another 'man on the moon' mission to unite us, this could be it. Maybe I am naive but all things are impossible until someone does it.

- njarboe 8y agoWell, if it is not profitable (net positive in generating wealth) then, yes, its not viable. Its too bad the negative externalities of fossil fuel burning are not placed on those that use it (CO2 tax please) so that we could find out which energy sources are actually profitable.
