🇺🇸🇯🇵 In the 1970s and 1980s, the U.S. and Japan pushed OTEC research forward. In 1979, the “Mini OTEC” project in Hawaii proved the potential of the technology by generating 15 kW of net power on a U.S. Navy barge. A big step toward today’s renewable future! 🌍⚡

⚡ In 1930, George Claude, a student of Jacques d’Arsonval, built the world’s first OTEC plant in Cuba. Though a storm destroyed it, this pioneering step marked the beginning of real-world ocean energy experiments. 🌊💡
