One of the proposed alternative energy sources for decreasing the effects of global warming (climate change) is solar power. Thousands of people research alternative energy because a breakthrough will change the world and make fortunes. Wind energy is another alternative energy source which is completely renewable. While solar is positively viewed by the public as an alternative energy source, there were concerns over the feasibility of solar power becoming widely used.

Wave Power Systems
There are multiple different technologies used for Wave energy. There are five main types of technology used including; Absorbers, Attenuators, Oscillation water columns, overtopping and Inverted- Pendulum device. Abosorbers extract energy from the rise and fall of the waves with a buoy Wave power, also called ocean wave energy, electrical energy generated by harnessing the up-and-down motion of ocean waves. Wave power is typically produced by floating turbine platforms or buoys that rise and fall with the swells
