I just read a great article in wired magazine titled Researcher Pushes Enormous Floating Solar Islands. It is a great idea, there basically making a floating island with solar panel all over it. They estimate that an island a mere mile across could generate 190 megawatts of power with a breakeven price point of $0.15 a kilowatt hour, or about twice current electricity prices in the United States.
