Gulf Stream Turbines LLC has designed a simple patented system using a submersible turbine, very similar to wind turbines, only at least 3 times more efficient, cost comparable and a zero CO2 footprint. Using non-corroding, environmentally friendly technologies to use the power of the 24/7 current of the Gulf Stream, 20 miles off the coast of Florida, with no harm to marine life. The turbines utilization of some basic laws of physics to give it inherent stability and to remotely control its depth, it is immune from serious control problems. The GST’s simple design should generate steady electricity for many years without needing removal from the ocean. Each turbine has two 600kW generators or 1.2MW which will generate 8,941,300 kW of electricity per year. Each GST can save 10,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year compared to a fossil fuel plant. Wind’s going rate as of Sept.2009 is selling for US $1.76 million per Megawatt, and in the next 10 years, wind energy companies are expecting to install 446,000 Megawatts, that represents a market value of US $785 billion a year. Pike Research, published the 2nd Qtr of 2009, “The high capital costs associated with renewable energy technologies is largely avoided with marine kinetics. The capital costs of marine renewable energy systems will be 50 to 100 times smaller than investments required to create the same amount of electricity from either wind or solar.” If Gulf Stream Turbines LLC can under the present European Carbon Offset commodity futures price in January 2011 of US $30. a ton produce and sell just 10,000 turbines by 2012, it can save 100,000,000 tons of CO2 emissions and realize about US $3 billion, plus the revenues from whatever the going price for electricity is in 2012. The company’s site is www.gulfstreamturbine.com The company is an entrepreneurial startup with John H Robson, Inventor/Chairman and Rowen Negrin, President and would like to begin a dialogue with interested parties to explore bringing this technology to market. rowen@gulfstreamturbines.com “The United Nations (UN) estimates that the total “technically exploitable” potential for waterpower (including marine renewables) is 15 trillion kilowatt-hours, equal to half of the projected global electricity use in the year 2030. Of this vast resource potential, roughly 15 % has been developed so far.”
