Green energy from the depths of the ocean or surfing on the waves, is there a feasible way to use that energy? Thermal ocean options are being peeked in on but so far the wave is the thing. Three main research paths for oc...read more
It is almost impossible to imagine the awesome power contained within the oceans of the world. It has been estimated that by just harnessing the energy in tidal currents alone, we could provide power for most of the world....read more
With the threat of global climate change casting a dark cloud over the future of fossil fuels, engineers have turned increasingly to technologies that harness clean energy from renewable natural sources such as the sun, th...read more
Will the Next Wave of Energy be Blue or Green? Rising energy costs, rumors of depleting fossil fuels, global warming, environmental toxins; it sounds like the Christmas wish list of Dr. Seuss' the Grinch. In an artic...read more
With nearly three-quarters of the Earth's surface being covered by water, utilizing the world's oceans as a sustainable, renewable energy source makes perfect logical sense. Currently there are three main types of hydroele...read more
A Living Source of Energy The oceans are an endless source of energy in many forms. The huge potential of offshore windfarms and tidal power projects for the production of electricity is welcome in a world of increasing...read more
