It is invariably popular with the public, which has a sentimental love of the sea\u2026 The potential resource is vast. It is usually estimated as being of the order of 2,000 gigawatts (GW), though UNESCO has put it at roughly double that amount. But what we need to estimate is how much can be gathered and delivered at an economic price.\u201d<\/h6>\n<div style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wave_power\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/pandemiclabs.com\/pandemicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/wikipedia-logo.jpg\" alt=\"Wikipedia: Biomass\" width=\"190\" height=\"228\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wikipedia: Wave Power<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using a variety of innovative technologies, electricity is today being generated, via wave energy, in dozens of locations throughout the world.\u00a0 Wave energy is pollution-free and entirely, persistently, renewable.
