The crazy part is that there is WAY more energy in the waves than in the wind.
Unfortunately, wave energy research has been severely sabotaged and delayed. We will probably need to wait until the other alternative energy sources (wind, solar, fusion, etc.) finally eclipse coal and oil, for real wave energy to be allowed to be built.
At that point, however, they will just dust-off the crazy alternative energy tech they’ve kept in black projects for all these years. There are 5,000+ energy patents that have been shelved for ‘national security.’ Once oil is eclipsed there will no longer be any reason to hide all the energy tech.
It’s coming. Pretty soon these wind turbines will be obsolete... But they are doing their part in forcing the shift, so it’s definitely not for nothing.
