A wave power plant inaugurated off the shores of Povoa de Varzim, Portugal, on 23 September 2008. The project uses floating tubes, whose bobbing motion pumps hydraulic fluid to drive generators, are moored to the seabed three miles off Portugal's northern coast, generating a total of 2.25 megawatts, enough to supply 1,500 households with electricity.

Bush would never go for something like that.......it makes sense and it makes power without oil.
Miss Ter,
Do not concern yourself. Mr. Bush, or his successor, will pay for these newfangled gadgets as soon as U.S. industry figures out a way to get enough subsidies and welfare from the U.S. government. But, be patient. It takes a lot of time lobbying the U.S. government before the gravy train of subsidies flows.
In the old days consumers paid for products directly. Now, they pay the extortionist (the federal government via taxes - if you don't pay them you go to jail) who then subsidizes the products. It is a new form of capitalism.
You see: It is all the green-industry's fault. They are obviously not as good at extorting subsidies out of the federal government then say the financial industry. So, do not blame Bush, he is just a pawn in the bigger food chain.
It is very useful&good job done by NASA,USA.god blace you for your work.
Thank you very much Ameya.
