In addition to enabling drilling in ever - deeper waters worldwide, robot subs will also be instrumental in ramping up the installation of offshore turbines that generate electricity from the strong winds and tides found at sea, says Michel, one of the main organizers of the annual Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center's 2010 International ROV Competition, which challenges students to complete underwater missions using ROVs they design and build.

He's been ramping up his own commitments since then, and pledged last year to double his investments (to $ 2 billion) on a host of energy frontiers in the next five years — from new battery and solar technologies to a safer nuclear plant design to tethered, high - flying wind turbines that might harness the power of the jet stream.

There have been improvements in wind turbine design and scientists are developing technology to make wind turbines more efficient as well as develop technology (high temperature super conducting materials) that will allow power to be transported long distances (perhaps coast to coast) with very little energy loss.

A Goldwind 1.5 - megawatt turbine with PMDD technology that was erected for research and development purposes in the Bohai Sea in 2007 is still «doing the job it's designed to do, producing power from wind.»
