water is pretty good idea to look at.
Isn't sea water fairly corrosive? You get severe electrolytic
corrosion problems on boats, hence the big lump of zinc on a yacht's
propshaft...
And add to that the Container based DC designs, you can have a very
efficient
Underwater DC. The only problem will be physically accessing the DC.
Or you
can simply build your DC near the shore and have pipes directly to the
ocean/sea(however this approach will not be as effective as an
underwater DC.
You can combine this with what they used to do at Fawley oil-fired
power station on the side of the Solent - the warmed seawater
encouraged oyster growth, so there were commercial oyster beds around
the outlet.
