I first heard about osmotic energy a cuple of years ago, and was instantly fascinated. What do you think of this technology, is it a viable method of producing power? Can it help to alleviate the the pressure on the world's supply of fossil fuel? And, as there many scientists here, do you have any idea if it is close to being realised?
