I know that Matt talks about some of the reasons in his video but given the fact that 20% of the Earth is coastal zones and 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, how is it that we went all in on coal and even nuclear before we started investing in waves? Especially when you consider that the ratio of water on Earth’s surface to coal at depths we can mine is about 100,000 to 1. Surely this should’ve been a priority, no? I just don’t get why we have a nearly finite reusable resource and we’re like, nah, go for the one we can deplete. And if your answer is because most people live in-land, if most energy was coming from the coast, wouldn’t we have been forced to get better at energy transportation?
easy. put a big bouyioe where we get the biggest waves and connect it to a pump powering a spinner powering the power. bøuyue goes up and down cause of the waves. the more bouiyueoancy you put in the boy, the bigger gears you can put on for free power. with a big enough gear and a raft the size of texas, you could power the world from 1 machine. or completely elimimate waves in the ocean.
