Summary
Several specific applications or missions for OTEC systems that appear to be commercially viable are examined and the questions of which locations and market place conditions are most favorable for OTEC are discussed. The question of how large a ''subsidy'' might be required to help OTEC over its early stages before independent commercial viability is achieved is addressed. In addition, possible institutional, industrial, and political barriers to OTEC implementation and deployment are identified and means of minimizing such barrier problems are discussed. The potential OTEC energy contribution within the U.S. energy system, and steps that should be taken to maximize that contribution are described.
