Background Information

Pollution effects:

-15 Billion to install in the U.S.

for 8000 megawatts of power

- 3 Billion in the U.S. for 2200 megawatts of power

- 15 Billion to install in the UK for 8000 megawatts of power

- Best areas is placing turbines on Coastlines where the waves are the strongest.

- France, England, Canada and Russia have the most potential for turbines.

- These countries will get the most energy out of the waves
