Series: SIRS Enduring Issues 2006Article 63Science. Publisher: Futurist, 2005ISSN: 1522-3264;.Subject(s): Electric power consumption -- Forecasting | Electric power production | Energy industries | Ocean energy resources | Ocean wave power | Renewable energy sources | Technological innovations | Tidal power | Turbines | Wind powerDDC classification: 050 Summary: "The prospects for ocean-based renewable energy development look brighter all the time. Current and potential markets for offshore wind, wave energy, and tidal power are all expected to show considerable growth over the next five years. Offshore wind systems use turbines to generate electricity. Wave systems use floating rafts or devices fixed to the ocean floor and harness the energy generated from bobbing or pitching." (FUTURIST) This article examines how wind, waves and tides are being harnessed for the generation of electricity.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
