Dorothy Pomerantz
January 09, 2017
Ask any farmer, and they'll tell you that weather patterns have become erratic. Monsoon seasons, once as predictable as sunrises and taxes, now fluctuate wildly, making it difficult, if not impossible, to prepare.

A Sea Of Green Power Beneath The Waves? Tidal Electricity Is Becoming A Reality Off The Coast Of Wales

December 01, 2016
Britain’s coast is way more than white cliffs, cold beaches and crisps-stealing seagulls. It also boasts some of the highest tidal ranges in the world, measuring between 23 and 40 feet. Twice a day, like clockwork, the moon’s gravity makes the seas ebb and flow. All that moving water is also a huge reservoir of reliable, renewable and carbon-free electricity. “Tidal could potentially supply up to 12 percent of the U.K.'s energy generation,” says Mark Elborne, president and CEO of GE UK.

There are now more mobile phones in use than there are people in the world to use them — some 7.2 billion phones. Mobile phones are becoming integral parts of our lives, penetrating into areas of the developing world that lack much of the fixed infrastructure taken for granted elsewhere.

Mark Baker GE
December 10, 2014
Our ancestors knew when to plant by looking at it, ship captains navigate by it, and wolves howl at it … and now its draw will power our cities.  After solar power, moon power — or more exactly tidal power — is well positioned to provide a sustainable, limitless power supply for years to come.
