How is energy generated from the movement of the sea? A new EGP experiment has just kicked off, in Chile. Latin America’s first wave energy converter will provide key information in exploring this potential source of energy. Surfers call them spots: those locations where the biggest waves break for the best possible ride, and where … Continue reading Energy that rides on the ocean waves
