Wave Moment

An addendum to the green City Moment the other day, Britain is building the first wave farm three miles off the coast of Portugal, according to Sierra MagazIne (March.April, 2006). They are mooring three giant converters to the floor of the ocean to capture the ebb and flow of the water. They expect a capacity of 2.25 megawatts by the end of this year, which could serve about 1,500 households. If they can do it, there seems to be no reason San Francisco can't do it. So here's to SF making it work, too.
