Comments on: Saltwater Power Could Supply Energy for Most Dutch Homes http://ecolocalizer.com/2009/03/08/saltwater-power-could-supply-energy-for-most-dutch-homes/ News & commentary on sustainability, activism, urban planning, politics, and our world.

It is not! Outside of the xenophobia of Americans, folks live on much less, Take the Super-Insulated, Straw Bale Home dwellers of Northern Canada, who at 40 degrees below zero,Celsius, and northern latitudes, successfully solar heat through superior Canadian technologies! Realize that power consumption the world over is lower than for Americans and their very shabby technologies where power is concerned! Sweden is a good place to start a web-study, then take the average Norwegian into account! Few of the peoples on the earth are as energy dependent, vulnerable, and require the power Americans do just for survival!

This has nothing to do with freshwater and would in no way affect the world's supplies even if it did. iceanfire, maybe you didn’t read the article?

I am also curious as to the size of the generating facility and how expensive it is to set up.

About the potential: this is going to be a pilot project, and really, this is no large-scale energy solution. The membranes are expensive, get polluted, and can only have small throughput.
