President Biden’s Ocean Climate Action Plan aims to harness wave and tidal power, and ocean thermal energy conversion.

Summary

KEY POINTS:
  1. Oregon’s PacWave (operational in 2025) could power thousands of homes.
  2. Generating electricity from ocean temperature differences is increasingly cost-effective.
  3. Offshore wind energy, including floating turbines, remains the most developed and efficient ocean power source.
