How Waves Could Power A Clean Energy Future



The ocean’s waves are immensely powerful. Harnessing that energy for grid-scale electricity production would be a major boon to the clean energy industry, but building durable, powerful, and cost-effective wave energy converters has proven difficult. Now though, an influx of federal funding is helping many U.S. companies gear up to test their latest wave energy technologies, giving many in the industry hope that wave power will see massive growth over the next few decades.

    Meanwhile
    Economists have been warning of an impending Joe Biden recession for months.
    One major financial player thinks things may end up being worse than a lot of people are anticipating.

    We really need to push hard because were running out of time. The estimates were about 50 years, but that should change because we now live in an electric power hungry society. When the time comes and there are no more fuels to burn, the armagedon of WAR FOR FUEL will happen. And well all go back to where we started.

    Power ❤️❤️❤️ It refers to the energy that can be collected and used to operate a machine, household appliances,etc. It is an essential element for economic development and improving the quality of life. Agricultural and other economic activities depend upon the availability of electricity. Imagine the situation when there is power failure. It brings heavy loss in economic terms. So, development of conventional and non – conventional forms of energy for meeting the growing demands at a reasonable cost is the responsibility of the government for the development of electrical energy in the world?👍👍👍👍👍

    Great video! Is is possible that after 45 years of sitting on it's asses, after the US "Energy Crisis," obstructing progress, the Department of Energy is actually doing something productive?

    This is a funny story, just 7 years ago there were no Global Energy crises then the West Government agreed to the UN agenda 2030 Climate Change invention to save the planet?, is it actually the World Economic forums global Government by 2030? Gosh, how I wonder if we are saving our planet, or helping to destroy it? because even though it's become obvious that the United Nations clever name "RENEWABLE" is just nonsense, they are actually REPLACEABLE, which means the IDIOTS or TRAITORS in the GREEN/Labor Parties, will continue the “UNSUSTAINABLE” constant massive replacement of these filthy green things that are now able to produce nearly 2 % of global electricity? Doesn’t sound very smart to me? Trying to dig up TRILLIONS of tons of raw material every year to build replaceable renewables? That’s pretty funny when you think about it, we are doing this financial ruin to ourselves, and at least we can blame our well-paid Politician actors for our Green Choices. HAHAHA sob sob sob.

    i think,
    humans can make overunity motion for green energy,
    by pumping liquids such as H2O into the atmosphere, by electrolysis of H2O into oxygen and hydrogen gas where the height and density are developed with mercury gas compounds, 1 input energy for electrolysis and there are 2 output energies from the gas recombination reaction and hydrostatic pressure, the tool can be like 2 tubes that are prefilled with 2 types of gas resulting from the breakdown of electrolysis before being run and 1 more tube to drain the liquid material resulting from the re-combination of the gas.

    fyi ,its about 287kj/mol H2O for input energy ( electrolisys )

    get back energy when turn H2 dan O2 gas about 250kj/mol

    the density of liquid and or high and gravity must be at least more than 37kj ( 287kj-250kj )

    what about Cl2+3F2 ?

    good luck for make better world…
    thanks me latter.

    Is there any such thing as a rain collector, but it’s several feet/meters off the ground. In addition to giving gravity-fed water pressure, couldn’t the falling water drive a small turbine?

  27. Satisfying Whirlpools

    You know how water expands when it freezes? Would there be any way to put water into sturdy pipes somewhere where it freezes at night, and the expanding of the water turning to ice would be used to create an extreme force driving a piston?

    She will need to DNA test dozens man to find out who actually the father of her each baby. She does not know who hit score goal out dozen man team she played with. She does not care because Jesus paid for her heaven ticket as told by pa$tors
