Australia’s wave energy at Perth, Port Fairy, Port Kembla, San Remo, Moreton Bay
While Australia is home to world-class wave energy resources, there are no commercial scale ocean energy projects at an advanced stage of development.
Ocean power – Australia rides the waves EcoGeneration, Rachel Purchase, 4 August 2010 Water covers over 70 per cent of the Earth, and Australia is particularly lucky to be surrounded by a lot of it. However, the ocean power available down under remains a largely unharnessed resource.
Ocean power is an emerging form of renewable energy generation that has the potential to contribute significantly to the world’s energy needs……
While Australia is home to world-class wave energy resources, there are no commercial scale ocean energy projects at an advanced stage of development.
Industry experts Michael Ottaviano of Carnegie Wave Energy, Colin Parbery of Oceanlinx, and Gilbert George of Ocean Power Technologies Australasia agree that ocean technology requires a stable policy and regulatory environment to encourage large-scale investment in new technology…….
…the past decade has seen the successful development of some major projects around the country, buoyed by increasing government support.
Here we provide a snapshot of these projects and on how they are progressing.

The Road to War brings a sharp focus to why it is not in Australia’s best interest to be dragged into a war with China which will almost inevitably go nuclear very quickly. The filmmaker has interviewed some of Australia’s senior foreign policy analysts who have vast experience behind them in analysing what really is going on here as the United States rattles its sabres with China. And sets us up to be its proxy, like the poor Ukranians have been fed into the Meatgrinder. So America can remain the Top Dog. The Road to War reveals how the United States through its spy base at Pine Gap and by stationing six nuclear capable B52 bombers in the Top End (without permission from the traditional owners) is making Australia a prime nuclear target if the current war of words suddenly melts down into full scale war.
The Road to War shows the implicit connection between Carbon emissions (the US military uses a whopping 70% of America’s annual petroleum to move its armies and vast War Machine around the globe to its 800+ military bases..but under a loophole wangled at Kyoto, the US military does not have to report its C02 annual emissions). The Road to War starts screening at selected cities and regional centres in March. See the trailer end for details.
