Every new technology introduced to generate energy will have challenges & ocean wave renewable energy infrastructure generators are no exception. One Online Think Tank while tackling the challenges & problems of ocean wave generation noted that such projects might in actual fact be dangerous to see life. If you will recall many nuclear power plants have superheated water from their cooling system, which can kill fish.

An ocean wave renewable energy system might be dangerous to fish if it’s not designed properly, however one company Fieldstone Energy has designed a system, which appears to be safe to sea life & environmental groups are watching them all like hawks. Luckily most environmental groups like the idea :idea: of non-polluting renewable wave generation. Even so with minor modifications of the design & barriers to the inlet waters it’s believed that such a system could be nearly 100% safe to sea life.

The Online Think Tank stated that; The design seems fine & thinks these issues are no longer issues. Rather, they seem to be more concerned that in modern industrialized nations, which already have power plants, that the cost of the infrastructure, Real Estate, etc must show a ROI & such.

What will really be interesting is after the first one is built then there will be folks lining up. Someone, or through the Alternative Energy Initiatives ought to fund a scaled down unit as a workable prototype since the advantages for the future are so incredible. But then again if you’re going to build one, GO BIG, may as well get with the economies of scale? Fieldstone Energy http://www.fieldstoneenergy.com has multiple designs capable of either small or large units. Clear? I certainly hope that this article will propel thought in 2007.
