Is wave power in Hawaii's future?

Wave power could be the next big thing in renewable
energy, with a test project off Windward O'ahu expected
to provide electricity as early as next month.
The mast of Ocean Power Technologies' wave power
generating buoy is above the surface in Kane'ohe Bay, the
working parts submerged.
U.S. Navy photo A power-generating buoy anchored north of
Marine Corps Base Hawai'i near Kane'ohe already produced
electricity - even during a period of relatively calm
seas during testing in September - before being brought
ashore for upgrades.
The buoy, in 100 feet of water about seven-tenths of a
mile north of the Mokapu Peninsula on which the Marine
base lies, should be operating again in March.
The test system is one of three wave generators planned
off Kaneohe in the next year or two.

The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not so send
peace, but a sword.
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
- Matthew 10:34-36.
