Why not design a turbine that can
be 'sunk' within the Gulf Stream ..

No hazard to navigation and a 'continuous'
energy source ..

There are numerous ocean currents of sufficient
energy to reliably 'harvest' ..

I'm from coastal New England at the east end of Long
Island Sound .. We have a very strong local current
and diurnal tides ie Two high and two low tides
per 24 hours .. This current flows between Fisher's
Island and coastal Ct at rates in excess of 5 knots
in both directions for several hours everyday ..
It's called the "Race" due to the fast flow rate ..
