In keeping with the age old tradition of creating new products by mashing together existing ones, here is the "Energy Island":
It's a floating platform that combines solar, wind, wave and Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (a little like geo-thermal where energy is produced by cycling a fluid through warm upper currents and cold lower currents) energy.
I have no idea how much it might cost, but a single platform has a 250 MW capacity ... similar to a single coal-fired generator. So a fair amount. And it looks all futuristic and shit.
