                to launch this summer off the coast of Portugal. Three
                snakelike wave-power generators built by Edinburgh's
                Pelamis Wave Power will deliver 2.25 megawatts through
                an undersea cable to the Portuguese coastal town of
                Aguçadoura. Within a year, another 28 generators should
                come online there, boosting the capacity to 22.5 MW.
                That may be a trickle of power, but the project
                represents a new push into wave and tidal power as
                governments eye the oceans as a way to meet their
                renewable energy targets. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://spectrum.ieee.org/jul08/6376">Engineers have come up with a variety of schemes to
                harness the power of waves, the flow of currents, and
                the motion of the tides. The Pelamis generators, part
                of a class of wave-energy converters called linear
                absorbers, each comprise three long canisters that look
                like giant oxygen tanks</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F190BDC9-A1F7-42C3-BAB3-531BE705C042/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
