NEW YORK (CNNMoney) â Thanks to Coloradoâs new pot tax and a quirky state law, residents may get a special one-time tax refund next year. The total could be about $59 million. Thatâs how much the state expects to collect from taxes on the sale of recreational marijuana, which Colorado legalized last year.
Wave energy, also known as ocean energy or sea wave energy, is energy harnessed from ocean or sea waves. The rigorous vertical motion of surface ocean waves contains a lot of kinetic (motion) energy that is captured by wave energy technologies to do useful tasks, for example, generation of electricity, desalinization of water and pumping of water into reservoirs.
Ocean Wave Energy Ocean wave energy is captured directly from surface waves or from pressure fluctuations below the surface. Waves are caused by the wind blowing over the surface of the ocean. In many areas of the world, the wind blows with enough consistency and force to provide continuous waves along the shoreline. Ocean waves contain tremendous energy potential. Wave power devices extract energy from the surface motion of ocean waves or from pressure fluctuations below the surface. Ocean Wave Energy Resource. Wave power varies considerably in different parts of the world.
