#wave power

How Waves Could Quietly Overtake Solar & Wind. Every crashing wave delivers a pulse of power. Add them all up, and the ocean carries more energy than the roughly 30,000 TWh of electricity generated globally in 2023. But for decades, wave power has been a sea of broken dreams. But in 2023, buoys from a Swedish company called CorPower survived record-breaking 60-foot waves — and kept sending clean power to the grid. With costs plunging and the first full wave farms on the horizon, a decades-old dream might finally be about to break through. So the question is: Is wave energy finally ready for prime time — or will it be just another shipwreck in the history of clean power?

Even if global warming isn't caused by greenhouse gas emissions, we can still move towards clean, renewable energy. Even if the ice caps aren't melting, we can still plant more trees and stop producing CO2 and methane. Even if the sea won't become acidic, we can still stop filling it with pollutants. Even if this whole idea of climate change is a bunch of baffle BS, I see no reason why we can't put effort into renewable energy, sustainable energy and bio-friendly energy. Because there is absolutely no way that we can continue polluting the planet like this.

You don't need to believe in climate change to know that:

We need more plants photosynthesysing

Fossil fuels are not sustainable

And harmful chemicals that your body can't handle, isn't good for any other living thing.

The ocean has the potential to power our planet – and the Navy is racing to harness it.

Global energy demand will nearly double in the next 30 years. To meet that demand, we must diversify our energy sources.

The amount of energy stored in waves is enormous, enough to power every U.S. household, twice over.

How Wave Power Could Be The Future Of Energy. The ocean has an incredible amount of power potential. China’s brand new Wave Energy Converters has been making a lot of news recently. While this ocean power device isn’t the first of its kind, its sheer size represents a breakthrough for this underutilized but potent branch of the renewable energy family tree. What is wave energy generation, and how does it compare to other renewables like solar panels and wind turbines? And if wave energy is so great, then why is it lagging behind solar, wind and others? Let's dive into the ocean of renewable energy, where the waves may hold more untapped potential than the sun. Maybe the surfers were right all along.
