   Thanks! I just did …
   Thanks! I just did not see yet, and thats just me, any of these ´´floating“ projects that could convince me to be able to produce the amount of power we need and to be reliable and enduring. Inevitable at this moment we will go thru a stage of trial and errors. Many ideas will be put on paper or even produced. Many will work, but not enough to pay for their own cost or maintenance! They will be written off one after another. But I´m sure we will get there….

   Your criticism is …
   Your criticism is perfectly valid. Although, 3D visuals of devices on developers’ websites shine like new, corrosion and marine growth are problems that should not be overlooked. However, the relative weight of barnacles compared to the weight of the structure is likely to be negligible. Moreover, there are a number of concepts of wave energy devices (Edinburgh Duck, Searev, Oceantec…) that are fully enclosed (no moving part in contact with the seawater. These are interesting possibilities.

   I dont think any of these projects that are either floating or deep in the ocean has any future! One has to realize that the marine environment is very corrosive to anything that stays in it for too long. And inevitably sea weed and barnacles will add weight and will cramp any moving part. I cant imagine the kind of maintenance it would require to keep an array of any of those devices running in an effective way to supply the demand of power that will be needed in the near future.

   This is the future and it will work as long as the people who control and own the energy companies of today have nothing to do with this. If profits are still going to be the ‘name of the game’ then nothing will ever work. Tidal, Wave, Solar, and Wind. NO NUCLEAR!

    I abolutely agree with this, wave and tidal power generators can become an export champion if correctly backed.
