Journey to the wave-battered coast of the Pacific Northwest

Meet some of the engineers and scientists working to harness the punishing force of our oceans, one of nature's powerful and renewable energy sources.

With an array of amazing devices that cling to the bottom of the sea floor and surf on the crests of waves, these explorers are using a combination of science, imagination, and innovation to try to capture wave energy in the hopes of someday powering our lives in a cleaner, more sustainable way.
