Recession Kills Portuguese Wave Power Project

Treehugger has this news via Cleantech and the IHT about the death of the Pelamis Wave Power Project that I had written about on this blog: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/03/portugal-pelamis-wave-power-project-dead-in-the-water.php Unfortunately, while the technical problems with the project were solved by its promoters, the current recession simply killed it. The tragedy is that the power that it would have generated would, most probably, come from fossil fuel sources and this is certain to cause more problems than it solves.

Well, one can only hope that the economy would improve . . .
