Carnegie Wave Power

Creating sustainable energy and clean drinking water for cities.

The picture above shows two systems from the futuristic minds of Carnegie Wave Energy. Based out of Australia, Carnegie Wave Energy is a wave energy technology developer that pulled me in close when I found out the possibilities this type of technology can have on humanity.

The way it works is pretty simple. The "bobbers" sway back and forth due the motion of the ocean. Then, a tether is then connects the "bobbers" to a water pump on the ocean floor. Next, the ocean flow water pump then directs high pressured water to a facility on land. Here, the high pressured water drives turbines, creating energy for desalination plants and sustainable cities.

I want to bring this to the San Antonio Community. There are deathly bids over water resources everywhere we turn. Cities will fight over access to clean water because of the depletion and pollution of fresh water sources, but now that has changed. This type of technology can keep our cities from turning into chaos and bring sustainable energy to our community. The question is how do we do it?

Here are my thoughts. If we build a partnership between colleges and governments along the coast of Texas, we can develop programs the work on the implementation of these types of technologies. I have tried to reach out to Carnegie in order to get a quote but no avail yet!

The problems we might face is that the technology may still not be ready to duplicate but that shouldn't stop us from develop college programs that aid in the research and development of wave energy. Once we implement these revolutionary technologies in our community communities will stop fighting over what fresh water we still have, colleges will become a hub for sustainability technology research, and cities will have access to clean water.
