The sum total of all the wave energy in the oceans could supply all the world's energy needs
What will be an ideal response?
As noted in this chapter, there are many possibilities for installations in the
gigawatt or tens of gigawatt ranges, and many more in the multimegawatt range. The world
currently uses about of power. The total power available from waves is much greater than
the current world power use.
