We’ll explain the difference between wind-generated waves, swells, and tides, and how factors like wind speed, duration, and the distance it travels, known as fetch, ...

How Waves Could Quietly Overtake Solar & Wind. The ocean carries more energy than the roughly 30,000 TWh of electricity ...

Waves in the ocean act similarly by propagating outward from where they are generated. The key difference is that the vast majority of ocean waves are formed by wind.

Tsunamis have nothing to do with the wind-generated waves we're used to seeing, or the tides—they’re a set of ocean waves caused by the rapid displacement of water. Most commonly, this happens ...

With offshore wind power nearly dead in the water, New Jersey wants to study the power-generation potential of ocean waves in an effort that could center on the Steel Pier.

While natural gas is still the primary power source for the state's grid, wind and solar energy are heavily contributing to the supply, data from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas shows ...

Wind and wave power is set to be included in calculations of the size of countries' economies for the first time, as part of changes approved at the United Nations.
