A green, renewable alternative to nuclear power? Joe Sieber,
Sc'64, has developed a totally renewable, green technolgy to
power electrical generators. Given recent events in Japan, it
would seem to be an idea whose time has come. So what's the hold
up in bringing it on-line? Is this another case of Canadians
taking for granted good ideas developed right here at home? (A
timely QAR reprint from Issue #2-2010.) Green technology may be
hot right now, but as Joe Sieber, Sc’64, can tell you, it takes
some green—in the form of cold, hard cash—to bring to market
even the best green energy idea. Joe has invented a way to
extract energy from the waves found on any large body of
water—oceans, seas, or lakes. His patented technology is simple,
reliable, efficient, renewable, low-cost, and environmentally
friendly. It offers the possibility of an endless supply of
high-pressure compressed air, which can be used to drive
electrical generators to power homes and businesses, desalinate
sea water, or power hydrogen fuel cell
