Department of Energy (DOE) released a report suggesting that, in theory, over 300 former and present coal power plants could be converted to nuclear. Most nuclear plants around the world today are large light-water reactors, with capacities well over a gigawatt—quite a bit more than typical coal plants. On 13 September, the U.S.

The 27 projects range from concept studies and component design research to prototype development and in-water device testing. The system will employ tidal turbine blades to pressurize and push the water without using any underwater high-ratio gears or electrical components. DOE Funding: $160,000. Total Project Value: $192,000.

This indicates that we may be greatly underestimating the methane fluxes presently occurring in the ocean and from underground into Earth’s atmosphere. In the hydrate phase, a methane gas molecule is locked inside a crystalline cage of frozen water molecules. The stability of the hydrate stability zone is climate-dependent.
