Operations:
• Capturing the force of storm surges as energy to power the city during recovery
• Providing water for desalination plants
Ocean Wave Power:
In general, wave energy is concentrated solar energy, which has an energy density of 100 watts per square meter. wave energy is concentrated to 70 kilowatts per wave crest, the most energy dense form [...]

Tidal Energy can be conceptualized as stored wind and lunar energy as well as solar. Sea heave (not surface waves) contains the highest energy density of any renewable energy source at the lowest cost. An under sea bed of 10 miles by 10 miles has been forecast to support the state of california with minimal [...]
