Renewable energy is a growing industry – almost everyone is familiar with solar panels, wind farms, and hydroelectric dams. A newer, up-and-coming form of renewable energy is ocean energy, which can be harnessed in various ways. Considering that the ocean covers 75% of the earth's surface, ocean energy can potentially power large portions of the globe. Additionally, the ocean itself is full of kinetic energy waiting to be converted into power. While there are different forms of ocean energy in development, including thermal energy and salinity gradient energy, one to keep an eye on is tidal energy, which converts and [...]
