Turning the Tide on Harnessing the Ocean's Abundant Energy
Several companies are in the midst of tests to determine whether their technology for harvesting renewable energy will sink or swim
Earth's oceans and rivers, pushed by wind and tugged by the moon and sun, ebb and flow over more than 70 percent of the planet, but only recently have researchers and scientists developed the materials and methods to finally harness some of that kinetic energy. There may not yet be a market for underwater turbines or wave-riding electrical generators designed to use ocean turbulence as a source of renewable energy, but that has not stopped a handful of ...
