Evaporation could power most of the U.S

In the first analysis of evaporation as renewable energy, the scientists found that evaporation-to-power devices on lakes and reservoirs could generate 325 gigawatts of electricity, or about 70 percent of current U.S. production. Evaporated power also could save large amounts of water in drought-prone regions and be available around the clock, getting around some cyclical challenges of solar and wind, they said.  https://www.eenews.net/stories/1060061719
