It is good news to the renewable energy world. Similarly, oil companies should consider Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion OTEC for their deepwater oil and gas platform power supply. That way they do not need to use generators by burning fuels. This is cost effective also. For an example, a floating production storage and off loading system will need say 100 MW power unit in a deep water in gulf of Mexico or say West Africa offshore, then a OTEC power plant can be placed next to the FPSO and then the electric power can be produced that is needed for the FPSO. That way the size and the cost of the FPSO will be reduced and free of fuel clean energy is utilized in the middle of the ocean. Chevron, Shell, Exxon Mobile, etc oil companies should support clean energy to the maximum to make environment pollution free earth support. The MMS and Government should bring this into policy such that the technology grows, the employment opportunity grows and the economy grows. OTEC is no more a dream. It is four times cheaper than solar panel technology. It does not occupy 8 acre of land space for 740 kW. A 100 MW power unit takes 150ftx100ft space maximum It you use that in the FPSO platform, may be extra 70ftx70ft space only. If you use as an independent platform, OTEC power plant costs $400 million USD for 100MW. If you use accommodate within the FPSO, then it costs $250 million USD. The OTEC is free of fuel and is study, reliable for round the year operation. There is no reason why these oil companies are not utilizing this OTEC for their deepwater platform power need. How much cost that they can save is tremendous? Deepwater Structures Inc., Houston Texas, USA has developed a DSI-OTEC power plant that is very cost effective. Please contact deepwaterstructure@yahoo.com. DSI OTEC is a game changer. It will change the world economy and will make all the poor third world countries into rich. Renewable energy technologies are in general not cost effective. Wind, wave, current, tide,

DSI OTEC is a game changer. It will change the world economy and will make all the poor third world countries into rich. Renewable energy technologies are in general not cost effective. Wind, wave, current, tide, geothermal, solar etc are either not 100% reliable or not cost effective to invest. Their role in climate change, business, infrastructure and environment are limited. DSI OTEC is the energy technology that would impact climate change, business, infrastructure and environment on the future earth. It would effectively reduce the global warming and control CO2 emission. DSI uses deep water oil and gas technologies to make the 1881 French Scientist dream into reality. DSI-OTEC could effectively change global energy business within the next decade. Clean renewable energy is a necessity of today that more people are aware of. Countries all over the world support this effort, considering that there is no carbon dioxide emission and no environmental impact from OTEC power plant. The 193-nation global warming summit held at the Copenhagen, Denmark, in December 2009 shows the importance of this issue to the world. On December 18th of 2009, US President Barack Obama said, "We have come a long way, but we have much further to go." Nagan Srinivasan

OPEN LETTER TO ALL ON THIS FORUM AND EPC AND OPERATING COMPANIES.

Dear Nagan,

We shared our OTEC - Ocean Thermal Energy design and concept ideas (many) and calculations under --- confidentiality ---- with witnesses and corroboration.

You were crying that Sevan Marine has "stolen" your ideas about the Round FPSO -------- NOW, this makes me doubt your story absolutely!

You should not be touting (OURS AND ITS DERIVATIVE IDEAS - MUCH DISCUSSED) as your "invention" !!!

- our Patent Application is already on record and all these Companies that you are visiting and touting this system to - what will happen when they find out as a few already have?

I EVEN TOOK YOU TO AND INTRODUCED YOU TO OUR WOOD GROUP CEO AND COMPANY TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR ROUND AND SEMISUBMERSIBLE OFFSHORE Structure, when your prospects at Sakhalin, Shtokman, Shell, etc. got "Delayed"

This is an ABSOLUTELY BAD Karma and NO GOOD will EVER come of it! A Vishvasghat - even God's are displeased by such Kapat - and will NOT answer any of your prayers!

You would do better to discuss everything with us connected to our entire scope discussed with you, instead of circumventing us at our own ideas!!! We have much of these in the hands of DOE and others going back SOME (!) Years - a plethora of it!

You know who we are so I will sign of only as W & K

W & K.
