Current and future energy trends are discussed in light of the three-year lag in production platform orders in England. Several current technology solutions to the 'Possible Energy Gap' are then proposed, most of which have world-wide applications: 1) a totally submerged, twin hulled pipe-lay barge for depths of 3000 to 6000 ft; 2) a one atmosphere, sub-sea platform design, for depths down to 6000 ft; 3) a new design concept for harnessing wave power; 4) a combination of 2 or 3 above; 5) deep sea drilling and submersible support ship; 6) a totally submerged deep sea mining vessel; 7) conclusions.
