Marine energy thoughts from thereeftank.com
The Reef Tank dot com is an informative website about reef keeping and many other aspects of marine life. They just posted this interview with yours truly on marine energy. Thought we'd cross link it here as one does not always have the opportunity to appear in a reef tank! What is your background in energy research, marine science...[read more]
Making Waves or Riding Currents: A closer look at marine energy technologies
This talk, taped last Fall at the Woods Energy seminar, is Marine Energy Technology 101. It explains in simple terms the types of energy that we can harness from the ocean, and discusses the latest technologies in wave power extraction and tidal current devices. I've since embarked on a tidal energy project in collaboration...[read more]

“I believe that the FF companies, since they have the money to do so at this time, will invest in the machine automation required to mass produce batteries and solar. The object is to extract the cheapest, most abundant sources for these new energy components.As something to think about, solar's growth averaged about 33% and as of 2012, was a whopping 78%. Now, if subsidies were reduced to where ...”
