gently caress that, wave harvesters are the real future of off-shore power generation

...which, like off-shore wind turbines, will be a real bitch to build because of nimby morons crying about their views

a lot of the engineering problems to it iirc is the salt in the sea air causing corrosion so maintenance would be a bitch

if i remember, they wanted to actually 3D print turbines out of a material that could combine salt, or some sort of organic-like compound through bioengineering which sounds metal tbh

there's also the small matter of nuclear waste nobody seems interested in dealing with since right-wing ideology is incapable of dealing with actual existential threats partly because it is an existential threat all by itself

i mean waste is the real actual biggest problem with nuclear but most people dislike it because safety even though it's the safest power generation method on the planet

it is also endlessly frustrating being an environemntal science major and seeing that most other students in the program are staunchly anti-nuclear while the environment gets fuckin obliterated by fossil fuels

geothermal, being the most location-dependent energy source, is the least developed and least pursued. it is conceptually fuckin rad but use cases for it are too sparse for it to be worth pursuing in most cases.

at least that is true now, once we start digging thermal boreholes however...:unsmigghh:
