Consider this airy, feathered net, composed of a moving woof and warp of albatrosses, petrels, and their kin, lightly cast across the entire southern ocean, hunting with a hundred million sparkling eyes over a restless sea.
Consider that sea, turbid with twinkling galaxies of fish all swept and turned by little fears that scud through each school like a gust of wind across a grassy meadow, or the flame-like blushes of color that flicker across an octopus.

 Sun and sea - Aug 8 | EnergyBulletin.net | Peak Oil News Clearinghouse
A group of entrepreneurs is harnessing the perpetual motion of the ocean and turning it into a commodity in high demand: energy.
Right now, machines of various shapes and sizes are being tested off shores from the North Sea to the Pacific — one may even be coming to the East River in New York State this fall — to see how they capture waves and tides and create marine energy.
The industry is still in its infancy, but it is gaining attention, much because of the persistence of marine energy inventors, like Dean R. Corren, who have doggedly lugged their wave and tidal prototypes around the world, even during the years when money and interest dried up.

One research center here in Newcastle is putting marine devices to the test in a wave pool, and another is deploying them in the roiling ocean off the Orkneys, the low islands off northernmost Scotland.
To draw energy from the ocean, they often need to be rooted on sea floors relatively close to shore, or mounted on rocks on the shore — places that have not traditionally been used for energy generation.
