1st U.S. wave energy generator at KMCH
The Wave Energy Technology (WET) project is an Office of
Naval Research (ONR) venture that is using ocean waves to
generate electricity. Off the coast of the Marine Corps Base
Hawai‘i (MCBH) a WET demonstration project has set
up buoys to harness wave power. One buoy can generate up
to 20 kilowatts of electricity, enough to power 10 homes. [More]

University, has begun releasing small numbers of hatchery-reared
juvenile ‘omilu off the windward shores of O‘ahu
this fall. [More] |

Earth Talk:
Eating local means eating healthy
Dear EarthTalk: Why do environmentalists advocate
that people “eat locally?” I don’t
understand the connection between patronizing local food
producers
and environmental quality.
