Science news articles about 'ocean power'Opinion: Ocean power reaching a fork in the road
Ocean power technologies will soon be ready for commercialisation, but funding will decide whether they're part of our sustainable future or end up on the scrap heap, writes Tom Deniss.Power From the Restless Sea Stirs the Imagination
Spurred by rising costs for electricity, energy visionaries are making a new push to overcome the barriers blocking ocean-power technology.New Surges In Wave And Tidal Power
Ocean power--a resource often located near large population centers--could ultimately generate 25 percent of today's total electricity usage.New Surges In Wave And Tidal Power
