Wave power: how it works

http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/efficiencity
A silent but informative introduction to how wave power works. The power in our seas is vast - and wave power is at an innovative stage. According to government and industry figures, wave and tidal power combined could meet 12.5 per cent of today's electricity demand - economically and practically - by 2025.It's an opportunity we can't afford to let slip.

Apparently, a 30MW wavefarm would occupy around one square km of ocean and produce enough power for over 20,000 homes.

I like this idea. It is sustainable and can run 24/7 - not like solar which runs only when the sun is up and clouds do not interfere or windmills which depends on wind which can be highly erratic or variable.
