Maine, Washington, Oregon, California, New Hamp- shire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, North Car- olina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

3.) The technical resource potential for electric genera- tion from ocean thermal resources is estimated at 576

TWh/year in U.S. coastal waters, including all 50 states,

Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
