The Ultimate Hydro Power Project

Water everywhere and we're still afraid to harness it. What if instead of building more dams on rivers and streams to generate electricity, we build a 2 to 3 mile long, 800ft deep, 350ft wide, ultra-modified dam in the Atlantic ocean about 5 miles beyond the three mile limit, off the coast of...

The Ocean Waterfall Dam--Counter-Intuitive Reality What if instead of building more dams on rivers and streams to generate electricity, we build a 2 to 3 mile long, 800ft deep, 350ft wide, ultra-modified dam in the Atlantic ocean about 5 miles beyond the three mile limit, off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia? Picture the Grand Coulee Dam, which since 1941, helped to reshape the Northwest with cheap electricity, it generates 6.5 x 109 watts..= 6,500 megawatts..= 6.5 million kilowatts. It is also the largest concrete structure ever built. US households use on average about 2 kilowatts of electricity, so the Grand Coulee Dam can power 3.25 million such homes. Currently, approximately 11,200 Tera Watt hrs/yr of primary energy is required to meet total U.S. electrical demand. An ocean waterfall dam of the magnitude mentioned above would generate 15 to 20 times that amount and also replace energy created by natural gas, coal, wind, and solar. So let's design a steel and concr
