Why not floating solar energy plants? During the 1970's a consortium that included some of the big industry names in the U.S. had contracts for thirteen floating Nuclear Power Plants for U.S installations. The design and construction for the construction--assembly plant was underway on an Island (Blount)in a bay outside of Jacksonville Florida to construct these floating Nuclear Power Plants. Invironmentalist succeded in getting the various states to cancel the delivery of the plants so the construction and assembly plant was not completed.

RE: Is a floating solar energy plant a smart idea?
Nice idea,but what keeps them up?It takes energy to produce it and it will take energy to keep these platforms in the air.

RE: Is a floating solar energy plant a smart idea?
Now imagine this scenario:
Out on the horizon bordering island nations? tropical waters are
giant floats with rotary wind generators and solar panels that look
like sails. In and on these floating mega structures are facilities
which these nations will depend on beyond 2001. From clean
rooms to ocean research centers, from marinas to transshipment
ports, from mariculture to horticulture, from power generation to
desalination, from housing to theme parks - the list goes on.

It's clear that Japan's FiT will shake the solar market.
The World Goes Solar. Japan's FiT in July is among the highest in the world. It's clear that Japan's FiT will shake the solar market. Now, US has the same options. New solar technology will show in Japan. This is it!
As you know, earthquake in japan is happening frequently. Floating solar panels installation is one of the best solutions for power crisis in Japan. So you have to reduce the vibration to install Floating solar panels. Because, it makes many kinds of problems! The vibrations caused by wind, waves and external forces. New Floating Body Stabilizer for Floating solar panels installation has been created in South Korea. The Floating Body Stabilizers generate drag force immediately when Floating solar panels are being rolled and pitched on the water. Recently, this Floating Body Stabilizers using to reduce the Vibration of Floating Solar Panels in South Korea. You can see New Floating Body Stabilizer videos in YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moO--q5B92k, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA_xFp5ktbU&feature=youtu.be.
