"... potential to
be one of the most environmentally benign forms of electricity
generation ... wave energy around the British Isles ... estimated to be
equivalent to three times current UK electricity demand, ..."
The oceans and the power of the waves and tides waves might be the
source of your electricity someday. Systems that can convert the
constant undulation of the waves into energy can harness what seems
like an unlimited renewable energy source.

Pelamis are
minimally impactful ... their visual impact is small as they are half
submerged so are not nearly as visibly on the horizon as wind turbines.
They appear to have minimal impact on marine life as well and can be
removed much easier than a wind turbine.
They currently have
installations undergoing tests in Portugal and Scotland.
Pelamis has their HQ in Edinburgh, Scotland.
