Agelbert NOTE: Wave and tidal (plus undersea current) power
have, as a group, a lot more potential than a 10% contribution
to global energy supply. WHY? Because of the physics of
planetary rotation and the lunar orbit around our planet.
I wrote about it almost a decade ago. I just updated it today

There is no doubt that humans in general, and those concentrated
in cities in particular, are responsible for much of the massive
demand for potable of water and energy. There is also agreement
that this demand is, at present not healthy for the biosphere in
general and humans in particular. There is too much waste,
inefficient energy use, lack of renewable energy infrastructure,
pollution from fossil fuels and inefficient water use as well.
In summary, there is a consensus among knowledgeable and
observant people in the reality based community that our present
trajectory in the above issues is unsustainable.
The solution requires the phasing out of all fossil fuels and
nuclear fission power plants and replace them with Renewable
energy. This energy needs to be harvested within 100 miles or
less from the highest energy users on the planet, the large
cities, in order to have lower transmission and infrastructure
costs.
The energy must be baseload quality 24 hours a day with wind and
solar to supplement demand spikes along with pumped water
storage energy, fuel cell or battery storage technologies.
The renewable energy source that is best suited on a global
scale because it is constant, powerful and close to the major
cities is the energy from ocean currents.

The energy is renewable, does not disturb the biosphere or
hydrosphere and can completely replace the polluting energy we
now suffer from. The densely populated areas have this powerful
source nearby.
Ocean currents have far more energy potential than ocean tides.
The tides alone are estimated to have a potential tidal stream
energy capacity of over 120GW globally. Using both plus wind and
PV would make a 100% Renewable Energy transition to the 18TW the
planet required feasible with technology we now have.
Just in the UK alone, the marine power resource is estimated to
be more than 10GW, representing about 50% of Europe’s tidal
energy capacity.
In the USA a project is now in the works to provide wind turbine
power to the East Coast for up to 1.9 million households. When
built out, the Atlantic Wind Connection (AWC) backbone will
stretch 350 miles off the coast from New Jersey to Virginia and
will be able to connect 6,000MW of offshore wind turbines.

Now look at where those wind turbines will be and realize that
undersea turbines can be placed close by and save on cabling the
energy to the shore. Much more energy can be harvested 24 hours
a day from the ocean current. Sharing energy transmission cables
from wind and ocean current turbines will save millions of
dollars and hasten the transition to 100% clean energy.

As the new, clean energy replaces dirty energy, full
electrification of the economies to eliminate the internal
combustion engine for power plants, vehicles and factories will
clean the air in large cities.
With plenty of renewable energy to electrify the planet and
eliminate the internal combustion engine pollution, the
worldwide potable water problem can be solved anywhere on the
planet that the relative humidity is above 23% (any place it is
not a desert climate) by extracting water from the ambient air.
The waste water can, given all the ocean current energy, be
processed for agricultural fertilizer (eliminating petrochemical
fertilizers).
In this way, we will imitate the biosphere in turning our waste
into a nutrient that benefits all life on earth, not just
humans.
