Yes been here before back in when was it, 1956 oor so, the Russian

with output, and of course actually getting at the output energy caused
lots
of issues as materials had not been made that could be used near such a

However as has been the case for many years since, it was said that

power from seawater was less than 10 years away.

OK it might a lot better now than then but the same fundamental issues

scale and heat and keeping it going seem to still be the problem.
