Richard R LeeThis is not conventional #Hydropower in terms of #generatingscheme. It is more akin to #WaveEnergy - #OceanEnergy, but semantics aside it is still an #EcoKiller. Why do people continue to pursue such folly when there is sufficient #WindEnergy & #SolarEnergy is unfathomable other than in the pursuit of #greed. Rivers and Lakes dry up (or experience low volumes). This scheme will fail like all other #Hydro is these days. #HydroGrifters. #GriftersGonnaGrift. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/30/hydropower-great-lakes-clean-energy?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
#TidalEnergy - #WaveEnergy - #OceanEnergy are in their infancy, but have the potential to match or exceed #Wind & #Solar. #GeoThermal is an #ECOKiller in most cases and should be left as a last resort. @adritheonly @Energy4Europe
EcoTechNews.worldWave energy's getting closer to reality with innovations like WaveRoller, Penguin, and mWave. They tap into nearshore waves with high energy density and minimal environmental impact. What's the biggest challenge to overcome for widespread adoption? #WaveEnergy
Eco Wave Power Gibraltar's onshore system harnesses ocean waves for clean electricity, cutting traditional offshore costs and complexity. It's creating jobs and engaging communities. Can wave energy scale to meet our renewable needs? #EcoFriendly #RenewableEnergy #WaveEnergy
Wave energy converters can produce up to 10 times more power than traditional wind turbines. Small-scale systems like tidal turbines are empowering remote communities. What role can ocean energy play in decentralizing our energy supply? #OceanEnergy #WaveEnergy

Story by Everett Sloane, February 11, 2026
Excerpt: "Coverage of the planned restart has noted that Japan’s #Kashiwazaki and Kariwa units faced a suspension just hours after an earlier attempt began, after a minor malfunction triggered alarms. Separate reporting on Jan developments stressed that the significance of bringing Reactor No. 6 online was rising as tight supply threatened winter reliability, a reminder that grid operators are juggling risk on two fronts at once: the risk of another accident and the risk of blackouts if demand outstrips capacity. This dual pressure is why I see unit 6 less as a side story and more as the template regulators will use to judge whether No. 7 can safely move from fuel loading to full power."

Donald R NobleDon't often post work on here, but we've just published our 2025 UK Ocean Energy Review report, summarising progress in the sector over the past year.

Strypey"It will likely require the participation of some large companies, such as GE or Siemens (both major manufacturers of wind turbines) before wave power really gets rolling, according to numerous experts. Those companies may be waiting for the technology to sort itself out before investing, a common dilemma in any nascent field.

R&D in the public interest needs to be publicly funded, and available for use at no cost.
Why Wave Power Has Lagged Far Behind as Energy Source
Researchers have long contended that power from ocean waves could make a major contribution as a renewable energy source. But a host of challenges, including the difficulty of designing a device to capture the energy of waves, have stymied efforts to generate electricity from the sea.
