...energy is the ocean's tides. Off the coast of New England, tides rise and fall up to 4 m twice a day. How about generating electricity from floating pistons on the ocean? Unlike dams, floating pistons would be friendly to marine life; they would not silt up bays and would be far less expensive to construct. Just north of Maine, in the Bay of Fundy, a moon tide can be 15 m. If intermittent vibrations on a bridge are being used to generate 20 microwatts to 120 microwatts, why not think bigger? Robert F.

You’re put in a position where they’re responding to you precisely as the extracted essence of activism at the moment...
Just recently, this quiet, agricultural town of 200,000 was in a boom period. House prices shot up in the early 2000s, and Modesto became a bedroom community for the Bay area. But then the subprime mortgage crisis hit hard: in February alone, Stanislaus County had 1,630 foreclosure filings, third highest in the nation.
