If I understand you correctly you're suggesting treating the ocean like an elevated lake, and putting a pipe to a lower place so the water pressure could generate electricity.

The two things that come to mind for me are:

1. It's hard to find land lower than the ocean (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_on_land_with_el...)

2. Piping salty ocean water inland will make a lot of people unhappy. It would totally change the environment that was already there.

But interesting idea. Death Valley might be a valid place for it, since it's already a salty waste land.

Yeah so the Afar Depression would be feasible and would stop 12 years worth of ocean rises and create a lot of power, but would cause a lot of costs and issues to the area. I thought Death Valley was huge but only stops around 3mm of ocean so just 1 year of the current rise rate
