Kite Assisted Ships Tech Level: 10 Using the wind for propulsion on the seas is hardly a new idea; it is in fact one of mankind’s oldest ocean-going technologies.
People have wanted to turn sea water into drinking water for years. Unfortunately, it's not cheap. The reverse osmosis process, which separates out salt with a membrane, costs about 50 cents per cubic meter of water.

Ocean currents can power the world, say scientists
A "field" of cylinders built on the sea bed over a 1km by 1.5km area, and the height of a two-storey house, with a flow of just three knots, could generate enough power for around 100,000 homes. Just a few of the cylinders, stacked in a short ladder, could power an anchored ship or a lighthouse. Systems could be sited on river beds or suspended in the ocean.

Financing Solar Energy Projects for Municipalities - Sustainable City Network, Inc.: Finance: news, solar energy, solar panels, solar america communities, national league of cities
How can municipalities help generate electricity from solar energy without actually paying for the development? The answer, increasingly, is through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), a financing device that entices private developers with tax credits and locks down energy costs for their public-sector partners. While there are numerous grants and municipal bond programs that help local governments pay for their own solar installations, one federal authority said cities should think twice about investing in solar if they haven't already made their municipal operations as energy efficient as possible.About : ACOEL
