This is about what anyone who knows anything about clean energy would have predicted about Eco Wave Power Global: a loss of about 75% of its market value since it hit NASDAQ about six months ago. How long does it …

OMG! I think I interviewed this guy for a chapter in my second book, “Is Renewable Really Doable?” He’s a college professor, overseeing a team of graduate students that is working on raising the efficiency of hydrokinetic devices. No, on …
Extracting the kinetic energy out of flowing water, aka hydrokinetics, can take many forms. Take a look at the video linked here and tell me what you think. Does inserting the device partially into the water seem like a good …
“Invest now! This will make energy more affordable.” Never in a million years. There are small, isolated coastal villages where a total of a few thousand people may find wave-generated energy to be the best deal, though other forms of …
When I come across an idea like this, one that requires angel investment to bring this new concept in ocean wave energy into fruition, a project that is clearly asinine, I ask myself: Is this fraudulent? Are these people simply …

I recently learned that a friend’s family owns a great deal of land on one of the Pacific islands owned by the U.S. that includes a huge reservoir of water high in the mountains. I asked, “Don’t you folks pay …

Here’s one more attempt at ocean wave energy. Note that this one is not just bad, it’s pitiful. As waves pass a floating barge, water enters an L-shaped chamber (shown left) as the wave rises and exits when it falls. …
I’m happy, yet surprised to see this. Interest in hydrokinetics has fizzled over the last 5 – 6 years, largely as a result of the plummeting price of solar and wind. That said, in September 2021, interested parties will join …

Pictured here is a set of devices that are designed to extract the kinetic energy out of ocean waves. The rising and falling water lifts and drops the blue paddles which compress a fluid, whose tubes are connected to onshore …

Here’s a video on hydrokinetics that I hope readers will check out. We Americans live among the most scientifically illiterate people on the planet. But that’s not really the issue here. If you took 100 average five-year-olds to a slowly …
