  skos:definition """Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is an energy technology that
 converts solar radiation to electric power. OTEC systems use the
 ocean's natural thermal gradient?the fact that the ocean's
 layers of water have different temperatures?to drive a
 power-producing cycle. As long as the temperature between the
 warm surface water and the cold deep water differs by about 20?C
 (36?F), an OTEC system can produce a significant amount of
 power. The oceans are thus a vast renewable resource, with the
 potential to help us produce billions of watts of electric
 power. This potential is estimated to be about 1013 watts of
 baseload power generation, according to some experts. The cold,
 deep seawater used in the OTEC process is also rich in
 nutrients, and it can be used to culture both marine organisms
 and plant life near the shore or on land.  The economics of
 energy production today have delayed the financing of a
 permanent, continuously operating OTEC plant. However, OTEC is
 very promising as an alternative energy resource for tropical
 island communities that rely heavily on imported fuel. OTEC
 plants in these markets could provide islanders with much-needed
 power, as well as desalinated water and a variety of mariculture
 products.
