What is wave energy and how much potential does it have?
The first wave energy converter was patented by French inventor Pierre-Simon Girard in 1799. Conceptually, the device was simple. A raft floating out at sea, attached to cables and pulleys on shore; as the waves moved the raft, the raft pulled the cables, producing kinetic energy that could be deployed as needed. 1 Girard''s invention never saw the light of day,
