In the race to find alternative energy sources, the ocean has become an attractive playing field. Portugal and Scotland have already begun to commercialize wave power and other countries (U.S. included) are catching up.
One American company throwing their hat into the ring is SRI International, which is credited with inventing the computer mouse and has just launched its newest wave energy project off California’s Central Coast.

The surfing action was hotter than ever at North Stradbroke Island on Thursday, with Day 3 of the ASP Grade-5 Oakley Pro Junior being run in 2-3 foot waves at Main Beach.
After a delayed start, the world’s hottest teenagers went toe-to-toe in the race for the final 24 spots in the draw, shredding their way through Round 3.
Wearing a bright red rash guard surf shirt and blue board shorts, Australian ace Owen Wright is on track for back-to-back ASP Pro Junior victories after eliminating fellow Australian Mitch Crews and highly-rated Frenchman Marc Lacomare from the $30,000 tournament.
Wright, a blonde-haired goofy-footer , ripped it up, netting a 7.25 and a 6.50 to finish with a heat-winning total of 13.75 (out of a possible 20), compared to runner-up James Woods’ 12.40.
“I’m stoked to go left for a change,” Wright said. “We had small right-handers for the opening event of the series, so I’m happy to get some punchy lefts. Hopefully there will be a few barrels for the last two days of competition.”
