William,
Thanks for posting the info about Blue Energy. Their technology looks very promising. Here is an article from their site.
I bet we will be hearing a lot more about them. Here an excerpt from the article.
"There are huge potential energy sites all along the West Coast, in estuaries and inlets," he says. "California has the potential to produce 20,000 megawatts of tidal power. Washington–let’s say 40,000. You are looking at 100,000 megawatts in British Columbia and 300,000 to 400,000 megawatts in Alaska. Here in the Bay Area, I would start with an examination of aqueducts and levees in the Delta. It’s something that’s doable immediately."
Men and women in suits and ties busily exchange business cards and take notes. Burger has a presentation set for 11:00 a.m. the next morning and he’s enthusiastic about the response he has already received. The irony is that while Governor Davis is off in Washington, DC striking a deal, the best solution to California’s long-term energy needs may be on display in this San Francisco hotel ballroom.
"There was a gentleman here today by the name of Woodrow Clark, the point man for renewable and sustainable energy for Governor Davis, looking for requests for proposals," says a smiling Burger. "We had a nice chat for half an hour and I have to say he was stunned by what we had to say. He claims to have access to a $76 million budget, and our company will be filing a technical submission in a week to ten days. We have also met some interesting venture capital people here. It’s taken quite some time to evolve, but I think there’s finally a tremendously exciting future for alternative energy."
