Dr. Teem. Yes, it would. And, in fact, it has one advantage in concept that the ocean thermal doesn't, because one can bring that power into the grid on the land areas. Whereas for the ocean thermal gradient concept, one must generate the power within the subtropical oi' tropical ocean areas, and then in some way try to get that energy into the user system. There are a number of concepts for this, and we are analyzing these now and making trade-off studies. The primary priorities within the ERDA solar electric program are, at this time, on the photovoltaic and solar thermal systems with the wind energy having great potential, we think, in the more immediate period, but with somewhat a lower priority in our funding. Now, Dr. Blieden might help this discussion by discussing some of these in more detail or showing some of our trade-off estimates about how solar electric systems of the type we are considering project in terms of their future costs. Would that be useful to you? Senator Ford. It might be best and I think the time is running along so much faster than I had anticipated—it might be best to have him submit that for the record, if you would, Doctor—and I am not trying to cut you off. A couple of other quick questions. Dr. Teem, and I will let you go. Isn't ocean thermal power inherently limited by the necessity of a location in the ocean?
