Windfarms Of The Water

A new tecnology is currently under reasearch that will allow humans to generate energy from the waves of the sea. This technology, being named Wing Waves, can generate enough energy to power 200,000 houses with one square mile of wings. All this requires is an ocean coast, a depth of 50ft and a sand floor to be able to install. This pretty much opens up the entire coastline to this new form of alternative energy. Wing Waves as of now have no significant downside as they are very enviromentally friendly, produce electricty from the strongest to the calmest waves and have a huge area of operation. I would not be suprised to see this alternative energy begin to pop up all over the world's coast in the next few years.

This is very interesting to hear about. The idea sounds so smart and logical I am surprised that this has not come up sooner. Waves are something that are constant and if they can somehow create energy then I say go for it.
