A reader notes: While I am a huge supporter of ocean wave and tidal energy, I adamantly oppose messing with ocean currents. Water follows the path of least resistance, so it’s very easy to disrupt current patterns that have countless …
Ocean Current Doesn’t Represent a Threat To the Environment Read More »
For some reason, there is an enormous amount of fake news in the renewable energy sector. Why? Who benefits?
It depends on how you define “thing.” There is a “thing” called a unicorn in the sense that lots of people talk about them, they’re in kids’ books, etc. And, to be fair, clean coal actually does exist in the …
A gentleman from South Africa asked for my feedback on a new concept in hydrokinetics aimed at capturing energy from ocean currents. I hope a few readers will find my response interesting: Hi, and thanks very much for sharing this …
Here’s another post from the Energy Ocean show in Atlantic City, NJ. As I mentioned earlier, ocean energy in its various forms, including off-shore wind, tidal, ocean current, wave, and OTEC, lacks the maturity of its cousins in renewable energy, e.g., …
Ocean Energy Is Important, But Faces Stormy Conditions Read More »
I just had a conversation with a college engineering student looking to do an internship at 2GreenEnergy. I sure hope this works out, as it’s a terrific “win-win-win,” as I like to call it: a) 2GreenEnergy gets more high-quality content, …
Ocean current energy, a form of hydrokinetics, is one of the often-overlooked flavors of renewables, one that holds a great deal of potential. Low hanging fruit here, it appears, are the large and predictable currents that flow with very little …
