This 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
Demand for hydropower surges as Trump clamps down on clean energy

Home to one of the world’s largest deposits of freshwater, the Great Lakes region will soon host next-generation generators – just as prices are being hiked across the US

Die Kraft der Ozeane nutzen: Neue Technologien zur Wellenenergie-Gewinnung werden immer robuster und effizienter. Von oszillierenden Wassersäulen bis hin zu Punktabsorbern – die mechanische Energie der Meeresbewegungen lässt sich heute präziser denn je in elektrischen Strom umwandeln.

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

Breakthrough Metal Tubes Promise Unsinkable Structures and Wave Energy Capture

Scientists made metal tubes that float even when broken. This could make ships safer and help capture energy from ocean waves.

New Metal Tubes Can't Sink, Can Help Ships and Ocean Power

Scientists made metal tubes that float even when broken. This could make ships safer and help capture energy from ocean waves.

Engineers have created special metal tubes that will not sink, even if they are damaged. This new idea could help make ships safer and also be used to get energy from the ocean waves.

CorPower Ocean Wave Energy Technology
**Tech Specs:**
🔹 Single C4 buoy device: ~300 kW output
🔹 CorPack arrays: 10-20 MW at wave-farm scale
🔹 Zero pollution, renewable ocean energy
🔹 Scalable modular design
**Why it matters:**
Ocean waves contain massive untapped energy potential. Unlike solar/wind, wave energy is more consistent and predictable. CorPower's technology could unlock a new frontier in renewable energy.

Startups are now apparently storing electricity in the ocean, because if there's one thing we need more of, it's underwater power outlets 🌊🔌. Meanwhile, TechCrunch continues its noble mission of making sure no buzzword is left behind 📈😅.
