Wave energy converters can harvest electricity from the ocean, helping coastal communities cut their reliance on fossil fuels.
Wave energy conversion devices will tap into an infinite supply of ocean power, if all goes according to plan.
A new remote-controlled mooring system for wave energy devices is part of ARPA-E’s plan for drinking the milkshake of fossil energy stakeholders.
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications has revealed an as-yet-unseen consequence of climate change, wherein the energy of ocean waves have been increasing around the world caused by widespread ocean warming, which could potentially create further repercussions from coastal change and flooding, and the larger threat of sea level rise.
Lower fuel costs, predictable fuel prices and green jobs are the main factors that make the straight economic case for investing massive amounts of money in new clean power facilities. Now a new report suggests that health care costs are an equally if not more important factor than the other … [continued]
