This was posted in c/Environment yesterday. I bring that up to point you over to that thread, where @[email protected] had some great insights into why this move is more regressive than it sounds.
So originally I wasn't federated with [email protected] so couldn't read the post, I've now read it and can understand everything I didn't before. It's disappointing. But I'm glad that wave power was mentioned as I think that will be huge in the coming years. Hopefully it's not as far off as @[email protected] suspects. I feel like with ground source heat pumps, we have heating sorted, but we're still looking for solutions in power and wave seems the obvious solution.
It's an investment problem. No one is doing scalable wave power because the money is in offshore wind.
Such a shame given how much water covers the surface of this planet
Thank you
