Sea Waves Helpful For Green Energy - United Kingdom is one country that utilizes an environmentally friendly energy is eternal. A British company, Marine Current Turbines Limited (MCT) is in the process to install a wave power system 12 megawatt Seagen in Stangford Lough in Northern Ireland Coast. This system consists of 20 turbines of 20 m-long twin and light on the vertical axis on the plate of the sea. The speed of the waves in this area led to the turbine is spinning with speed 10 to 20 times per minute, so the experts say that this will not affect marine animals. The project is scheduled to be completed before the summer of 2008, and if successful the company is planning to create a wave power plant along the coast of England which is expected eventually to meet 15 to 20 percent of the country against a green technology. As a participant who signed the Kyoto Protocol, Britain has issued a law for to make the appropriate steps with it.
A project that another wave of kinetic energy in the Atlantic was also present in New York, USA, that Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE), which currently generates 1000 kilowatts of green energy per day. RITE recognized as a kinetic energy generator that first wave-free flow. The project is still in testing phase but once completed is expected to have installed 200 turbines at the base of the East River so that it can generate electricity by 10 megawatts for New York City residents. Prior to 2013, about 25 percent of energy used in the city generated by wave energy.

In critical periods of climate change caused by human activity in causing global warming, is very important that we use all our power to reduce CO2 emissions. Of course, so that we can fulfill the human desire to reduce their dependence on energy derived from fossil fuels then we have to start using alternative sources of sustainable energy. Solving the problem of global warming already exist but need to be implemented in a wide scale by all governments and countries around the world. Therefore, let us make the voice of our hearts open and make changes before it's too late.
