Wave Power

• Wave power - lots of little wave-powered turbines
• You need lots of small wave-powered turbines located around the coast.
• Like with wind power, the moving turbines are connected to a generator
• There is no pollution. The main problems are disturbing the seabed and the habitats of marine animals, spoiling the view and being a hazard to boats
• They are fairly unreliable, since waves tend to die out when the wind drops
• Initial costs are high, but there are not fuel costs and minimal running costs.
• Wave power is never likely to provide energy on a large scale, but it can be very useful on small islands
