Floating solar cells
Sharp has taken an alternative route when it decided to build a huge solar power system that floats on water, where a buoyant resin-made platform holds all the solar panels. This system is capable of generating up to 200 kilowatts of electricity - more than enough juice to power up to 50 houses. Of course, such a system isn't cheap with a price tag of $1,815,000, but when you think about the long term benefits, it pretty much makes sense to take this clean energy route while leaving the earth habitable for our descendants. Since the earth is has up to 70% of water as its surface, why not implement more of such solar power systems? It will surely take a concerted efforts from countries all over the world for the greater good of mankind.

... because by doing so you will super heat the oceans of the earth, killing off all of the fish, mammals of the sea and more importantly the plankton and vegitation.

End result is that 70% of the earth's CO2 processing system will be destroyed thus killing us because of lack of oxygen or global warming if CO2 actually caused it, and would completely collapse the ecosystem.

End result, yet another stupid idea to solve a problem right up there with Ethanol as an alternative to oil which is 99% inefficient!

DUH.
