Nuclear reaction is far more harmful to the environment than even the barrage method of power generation. Did you know that uranium, the key element of nuclear reaction has over a 1000yr life cycle? Now tell me, considering that uranium is a key inducer of cancer and mutations, should we be placing happy with just using this up, and then digging it back into the earth for disposal?

Another method that uses the ocean is Wave Energy Generation. It doesn’t depend on the tide or current, but rather depends only on waves. As the wave goes up, so does the piston, and as the wave goes down, so does the piston. In this fashion electricity is induced in a magnetic transducer of sorts, providing us electricity. The potential of this is endless. We NEED to look into this, rather than current methods.

i have a new idea to generate electricity by using nuclear reaction

G-Max is a tidal device that generates electricity from tidal flow. This unique system invented by Paul DiMaggio creates torque and has no impact on the environment. Currently we are seeking investors or companies to take this early seed patented technology to the next level.

Thanks for the links. I had no idea about NY’s several efforts at getting tidal energy flowing. It’s nice to see “too much of a good thing” being the only obstacle and I look forward to following the progress of their third try.

Verdant Power has installed tidal turbines in the East River in New York City. See
