Wave Energy. The Future?

What is wave energy? Wave energy is basically wind energy because waves are essentially made from the wind blowing over the surface of the water. If harnessed correctly wave energy has the potential of eliminating 1 to 2 billion tons of CO2 emissions a year compared to conventional fossil fuel generating sources. Harnessing the power of the waves is not only clean energy, but an infinite source of energy. The waves will never stop producing energy. Pelamis Wave Power Ltd is a company in England that is pioneering the technology. The use of the Pelamis Wave Energy Converter, is a great way to farm electricity, with almost no negative impact on the environment. The biggest environmental impact will be the installation of the converters, displacing sea sediment, but the converters themselves will provide a place for fish to gather, and for birds to rest.
