Can Ocean Wave Energy Be Cost-Effective?
The more I read about this, and the more time passes (perpetually bringing down the cost of solar and wind), the more I doubt it. Having said that, here’s an article on the use of wave energy in Africa.
The project developer writes: The technology can achieve a power generation cost as low as USD 0.02 per kW (sic), …. compared to USD 0.03/kWh for coal, USD 0.12 for solar and USD 0.036 for wind.
“Can” achieve? Under what circumstances? Sorry, but this is total horse hockey.
