The benefits of wave power
Wave power generators are inherently ecologically-friendly. Without a need for fossil fuels, and with no harmful chemicals released, wave power stations such as the “Duck” and the “Sea Snake” do not pollute our atmosphere or deplete the earth’s supply of non-renewable fuels. They are also quiet in operation with many turbines emitting less noise than a vacuum cleaner, so there is practically no noise pollution either.

This water sometimes finds its way to the surface in the form of hot springs. Most of the hot water stays underground in pockets called geothermal reservoirs.

Cowern and Ahn’s argument is logical, says Jonathan Gregory, a climate expert at the University of Reading, UK. “Human energy dissipation is currently small compared with other factors, but you can imagine it becoming much bigger.” However, he adds that energy production would need to grow significantly for the effect to kick in. “It’s fair to ask if we could ever produce so much power,” he says.
