"'But that's obvious' was my reaction when I first read Bruce Marshall's insight that it makes more sense to access geothermal heat on the ocean floor through kilometres of water, rather than through kilometres of rock. It may be obvious, but no-one has done it, and the engineering challenges of developing the concept and rolling it out on a global scale are immense. Crazy though it may seem, the greater challenge is to mobilise the human and material resources to deliver this potentially game-changing technology. I hope and believe that I can bring a 21st century legal and financial solution to bear to enable Bruce Marshall to realise his vision."

The goal is to generate 80 percent of the country’s electricity from clean energy-sources by 2035. That is the problem. The solution is hydrothermal vents. Extracting heat energy from hydrothermal vents and converting to electrical energy is a market-driven-game-changing solution with seemingly limitless capacity. It is technologically feasible, economically viable and an eco-friendly elegant answer orders of magnitude beyond any other green schema. I am as energized as I was when contributing to the Apollo Program to be a member of the Advisory Board."

"Without any doubt, Bruce Marshall, has coaxed the genie out of the bottle. 3 wishes
answered by Marshall Hydrothermal Recovery System! Endless heat energy to
drive turbines, distill water for potable uses and harvesting valuable elemental particles of
great value suspended in fluid streaming from the magma beneath the plates. I believe
Bruce found the most logical concept to address modern societal challenges for sharing
wealth and prosperity without degrading our environment with undisclosed hidden costs.."

Dean Wiseman working life has spanned 40+ yrs working in marine environments offshore and brackish or fresh water rivers. Almost every conventional energy producing facility and most manufacturing facilities are situated on waterways and oil refineries and industrial facilities need utilize available water for heat transfer processes as well as access for vessels.

Dean was trained to be a deep water saturation dive team member at Oceaneering Commercial Diving Center. The offshore oil platforms of the Gulf of Mexico provide many challenges and the opportunity to be contracted as an offshore diving specialist for Global SantaFe Drilling Company proved to be a telling experience for Dean. He had the responsibility to oversee diving operation for safety and production during 2005 hurricane season for “changing out” 16 Azipod thrusters on 2 brand new semi submersible “oil” driller platforms.

During the changeout project there were 2 hurricanes , Katrina and Rita, necessitating back to back evacuation and subsequent repairs from damages due to destructive energy of 75+/- ft. waves against the moored platform. Dean has inspected, repaired and performed maintenance upon nuclear, Natural Gas, Coal, Oil Fired Co Generation and Hydro electric dams and facilities over 35+ yrs. and worked offshore as a diving supervisor and diving specialist.

Dean served as a shipyard diving supervisor and safety consult recently for General Dynamics BIW Naval Shipyard 8 man dive team with focus upon ships husbandry under the newest first of class Zumwalt DDG 1000 Destroyer and inspections of the dry dock and land level facility. Wiseman is eager to get going on this next anticipated project…Marshall Hydrothermal Recovery System pilot project is first choice!
