Why Wave Energy Remains Underdeveloped
Converting ocean energy into electricity is challenging due to a tough regulatory environment and the complexities of the ocean itself.
Despite advancements in harnessing renewable energy from solar, wind, and geothermal power, wave energy has lagged behind.
Host Flora Lichtman discusses this issue with Oregon Public Broadcasting reporter Jes Burns, who covers Oregon's wave energy test site, and Deborah Greaves, an offshore renewable energy researcher.

Jes Burns is a science and environment reporter and host of "All Science. No Fiction." at Oregon Public Broadcasting.
