Supposedly, a collection of these 1 km (.6 miles) across and two stories high placed on the sea floor could power 100,000 homes.
This is yet another technology for alternative energy that I imagine the US government ignoring or outlawing with one excuse or another so the politicians can keep getting paid by the oil barons.
