    The conventional sources of energy are the fossil fuels, which are depleting by the day. This has led the world to seek alternate sources of energy. Among the alternate sources, renewable energy is widely accepted and preferred over others. This is owing to the healthy qualities of the renewable sources and it’s in exhaustive nature.

    Although still nearly seventy percent of the world's electricity needs are met by burning fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas, these methods generate vast quantities of greenhouse gasses. As such this energy source is widely getting replaced by renewable sources like Ocean energy, Wind energy and solar energy.

    Ocean turbine power is hugely popular owing to its twofold value proposition. First, ocean power technologies have been practiced for hundreds of years. They are based on well-understood principles derived from hydrodynamic physics and mechanical and electrical engineering. Second, ocean energy is an abundant, predictable and renewable resource. Tides and marine currents are 832 times denser than the air flowing over wind turbines and are predictable up to the minute at least 100 years in advance. Ocean Turbine power is guaranteed to deliver high output indefinitely.

    When I first saw the name of this thread, I thought they were going to talk about Nikola Tesla and his complete electrical wireless town, lol.

    But, I guess it's just spam (cool spam, but spam none the less, lol)
