Off the coast of Western Australia, three big buoys floating beneath the ocean’s surface look like giant jellyfish tethered to the seafloor. The steel machines, 36 feet wide, are buffeted by the powerful waves of the Indian Ocean. By harnessing the constant motion of the waves, the buoys generate about 5 percent of the electricity used at a nearby military base on Garden Island.
The buoys are a pilot project of Carnegie Wave Energy, a company based in Perth and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. In late February, the buoys started supplying 240 kilowatts each to the electricity grid at HMAS Stirling, Australia’s largest naval base. They also help run a desalination plant that transforms seawater into about one-third of the base’s fresh water supply.
Bring on all the alternatives there is, but I say that we don't need to wreak havoc or threaten other industries in doing so. It's like this Obama administration along with all his minions have tried to do, and this before their time had expired where as another industry might take over in a more balanced and very delicate way. Big moves are never a good thing all at once, but it seems that the crowd we have running things now, are liken to the little spoiled rotten rich girl on Gene Wilder's "Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, and how she wanted it all NOW!. She was a bad Egg... You would think that all the messages and wisdom over the years would have stuck in our brains, but it seems as if we are all living in the midst of strangers these days, where as it's as if they have landed and taken over without us even putting up as so much of a slight struggle in the situation.Catching Waves and Turning Them Into Electricity soon will be cheap as Electricity from Diesel

Nice, the more ways to generate power the better!

How much of YOUR OWN monies ARE you contributing to all these fantasies of yours?
or you just EXPECT everyone else to PAY FOR IT? through either guilt or intimidation.
