I think wave energy is the best way to make energy.

I tested many different types of energy producers. For examples:

1. fossil fuels 6. Water power2. Nuclear power 7. Wave energy3. Solar power 8. Geothermal

energy4. Wind energy 9. Biomass

burning5. Tidal energy

This is how it works.The wave comes.It enters a partly

closed container.The wave pushes the

air out of the top.The air turns a fan. The fan turning makes

energy.Then the water comes

out and does the same thing.

Here one is a bit different.This one works, too.It enters a partly

closed container.The wave pushes

the air out of the top.

The air turns a fan. The fan turning

makes energy.Then the water

comes out and does the same thing.

The advantages to wave energy.It doesn’t produce any waste and it

doesn’t need fuel. Since it doesn’t use fuel it doesn’t

add more to the green house affect. Much better than coal.You don’t have to pay for electricity

The advantages to wave energy.It doesn’t cost much to maintain. It costs some to build, but it doesn’t

cost much to keep it going.You don’t have to pay for electricity.

The advantages to wave energy.It can produce a great deal of

energy. The waves are very powerful; they

can cause a lot of power.The waves have been crashing into

the coast forever. Now we can use that power.

The advantages to wave energy.It is renewable. We can’t run out of waves.Coal can run out.The waves never stop coming.

The bad things about wave energy.The big problem with wave energy

units is they have to be able to stand rough weather.

Waves are powerful and take their toll on the machines.

They can’t rust out either.

The bad things about wave energy.Most people don’t like them because

they are noisy.The waves make as much noise

hitting the coast.
