Imagine the city of the future, now imagine that it’s the coolest city ever, because, well, it is. PopSci has put together what is probably the most comprehensive model of a futuristic city which utilizes green technologies and we have to say, it’s awesome.

The Scottish Government will offer a £10 million (R155 million) prize for development of the best technology for electricity generation from wave or tidal power.

Maui County will soon become home to the nation's first wave energy project, an innovation which will provide 2.7 megawatts of clean,renewable energy from platforms floating offshore of Pauwela Point on the Valley Isle's northeast coast.

Finavera AquaBuOYs will be used by Pacific Gas and Electric in Northern California harnessing offshore wave power to provide electricity to local residents.

So here I am again talking about an energy company going green. Theres so many issues and ethics to consider here it makes you want to be sick. An energy company going green? I know....I know, but todays post is a little different. Here we have an energy company going green, and they are largely based in California. With that being said, it may be possible to consider them actually going green due to strict regulations in California and well just being in the "green" state of California. The company is PG&E, and their amazing slogan is "We Can Do This"!

New technology capitalizing on tidal energy, ocean waves and running streams offers hope for a future filled with vast renewable energy resources.

The device, dubbed the Seadog, is designed to capture ocean-wave energy from swells or waves to pump seawater into storage tanks. The water then could flow through hydroelectric turbines to provide energy.
