SummaryThe problem of the fossil fuel depletion can be solved by means of searching, developing and using of alternative energy sources. One of them is the use of thermogradient power plants, which are operating by the temperature difference of the ocean water near the surface and at great depths. But using of these plants is usually limited by technical issues, and energy expenditures … Show more
