Amos. To harness the Gulf Stream one would need portable generators; the major axis can change by up to 15 to 20 nautical miles. Such a device would have to be portable. I am sure scientists are working on using natural forces to generate power, but for the most part it is either not economical or possible with todays technology. We live in hope though eh mate?
