Surf’s Up – How Ocean Waves, Tides, And Temps Can Help Power The World

July 31, 2018
Strong ocean swells, and waves that crash to shore can now be transformed, and used to produce clean, sustainable energy. But while the ocean-generated power opportunity is immense, it’s under-developed today.
In the-near-future however, wave power, or marine energy, could become a new source of renewable power for nations connected to the world’s deepest, largest oceans, including many in Asia Pacific (APAC).

September 22, 2014

Driverless transport seems poised to disrupt.

 

Amazon and pizza companies are conducting early tests to use airborne drones for bringing packages to customers’ doors.
