Dr. Johnson is leading MS2’s efforts to develop Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), a process to tap into the heat energy stored in the Earth’s oceans to generate electricity. Dr. Ted Johnson is presently Director of Renewable Energy Program Development at Lockheed Martin’s New Ventures Organization, where one of his areas of responsibility is the development of the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) business. Ted’s history in OTEC goes back to when he assumed the leadership of the heritage Lockheed Ocean Systems Division in Sunnyvale, California in the late 1980s. Previously, Lockheed’s Ocean Systems Division had built and successfully tested the Mini OTEC system off of the Hawaiian Islands. Ted continued to direct work on OTEC and several years ago launched a major effort in Lockheed Martin to accelerate OTEC development and commercialization as a base load green renewable energy generation technology. Ted has assembled a team of OTEC experts, companies, and universities to develop a large scale OTEC Pilot Plant as the next step in the commercialization of OTEC. The team has focused on the application of modern day technology from other fields to develop a “New Millennium” OTEC system that promises to be more efficient and economical to develop and build leading to the realization of large scale commercial size OTEC plants. Other energy related work that Ted has been involved in while at Lockheed Martin includes wave energy systems, fuel cells, and biofuels. Prior to this, he held a number of assignments in Lockheed Martin, including Homeland Security Director, Director of Adjacent Markets, and Director of International Oceans business. Before joining Lockheed Martin, he held a number of assignments with Honeywell, Inc. where he started out as a Senior Principal Research Scientist at the Honeywell Corporate Research Center. Dr. Johnson is a member of the Ocean Energy Council, OREC, Geothermal Research Council and the National Hydropower Organization. Dr. Johnson holds a Doctor of Science Degree from Northwestern University. Dr. Johnson received the Ocean Energy Pioneer Award in 2009 for his role in the development of OTEC technology.

Agricultural zoning (narrow streets, above ground electric lines) was approved. Homeowners enjoy paying lower property taxes. The loss revenue is paid for by other residents because it is in the public interest to be agriculturally self-sufficient. The majority of landowners impeded real agriculture. The community became a gated subdivision. The City and County of Honolulu took the position that if agriculturally-zoned land of one acre or more is fenced and if a horse eats the grass one day a year, then the property is being used as a farm and the owner is entitled to lower property taxes.
