A system and method for generating electricity at a desert site comprises a power plant having a combustion unit that burns aquatic bio fuel to produce electricity and an exhaust stream containing carbon dioxide An exhaust gas distribution system connects the combustion unit with a large inland basin of salt water at the site, for growing a plant bloom In the basin The bloom is harvested and converted into the bio fuel that Is burned in the combustion unit The basin is continually supplied by a source of salt water selected from an ocean, sea, bay, or cove, and salinity control for optimizing plant growth can be achieved by drawing high salinity water from the basin into an auxiliary evaporation pond A salt extraction plant can be located on site for producing sea salt from water drawn from the basin
