Seashore Cities Should Use Deep Sea Cooling Strategies

Should cities near the seashore that have steep drop offs as the land recedes into the sea use deep sea pipes as a cooling strategy for their air-conditioning systems? We know many cities by the sea, such as Los Angeles have to deal with high-energy usage from all the air-conditioning units of citizens, but what if a city used deep sea cooling, can you imagine how much energy they might save?

Many areas use geo-thermal heat or use geothermal to power up steam engines to make electricity. It makes sense to use that in regions with underground heat, to turn it into energy or use it as heat in colder climates. Is this an idea to help curb America from fossil fuels? Well in reality it could only be less than 8% of our energy needs, so it is no real option for the US and our massive usage.

Nevertheless, a seashore city along the Ring of Fire on the Pacific might be able to use both geo-thermal heat for power and deep sea temperatures for cooling. Personally, for the US I am interested in the future of clean coal technologies to reduce the sulfur and CO2 issues, etc. and believe that in the future these strategies will assist us in cleaning the air.

In some areas in our nation, GeoThermal strategies make sense? We do have some geothermal usage here that works quite well as a niche for specific regions, namely Western States near tectonic plates and areas of Earth unrest below the surface. In places like Chile, El Salvador, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, CA, it does make sense for "Some" or a component of the total energy mix.

Shouldn't we also look into deep sea cooling to assist us in our energy mix to reduce our massive usage and needs of our civilization? I hope you will consider this in your Think Tank.
