  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Electricity Generation
    What did you learn about wave and tidal energy? Were you surprised by the information you found?

    I learned that wave energy potential is measured in kW per "unit" (a unit being a wave energy generator). It is currently being studied in the great lakes but has not yet proven to be a sustainable energy resource because the cost per unit is still very high.
