The vast energy sources of the future will originate far away from where they are used; because of climatic considerations, solar and OTEC (ocean thermal energy conversion) power stations will have to be located in relatively circumscribed areas of the world. The world’s remaining coal reserves are largely in Siberia and Alaska, and nuclear power plants cannot be put in cities because of the danger they present and because of their enormous requirements for cooling water.
