Makes sense. Even if it's viable and doable, I don't expect to see it done en-masse. The current power companies in the USA will see to that. However on a personal level, I think it's possible to utilize more of the available power (weather, water and sun) than we do currently. It's sad to think that our knowledge base is increasing yet we humans still depend upon basic 18th and 19th century technology to provide electricity.

I think that this century will see a rise to a whole new series of energy-generating technologies that was never thought possible in the past. I already see potential breakthroughs like printable solar cells, new generation of batteries, smart grids etc...Who knows what things are going to be like 40-50 yrs from now with the advent of nano technologies.
 
Great...now they have an excuse to tax sea-water consumption.
