Water Energy
Water Energy abounds all over the world in the form of Tides, Waves, Tidal (Marine) Current, Thermal Gradients, and Salinity. Discover more about Marine Energy on our Pinterest page for Water-Energy. We are benefitting from the countries that have coastlines and are developing projects to harness this sustainable energy, as evidenced by some of the links below. There are even DIY methods to harness the energy found in a river or stream.
