2. I think wave energy is the best way to make energy. I tested many different types of energy producers. For examples: 1. fossil fuels6. Water power 2. Nuclear power7. Wave energy 3. Solar power8. Geothermal energy 4. Wind energy9. Biomass burning 5. Tidal energy

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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

6. 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.

7. 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.

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

9. 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.

10. 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.
