The DOE-funded Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center at Oregon State University and Northwest Energy Innovations were featured in part 1 of a Weather Channel feature on wave power. Watch this clip from Wake Up With Al Roker to learn about wave devices being tested off the coast of Oregon.

Another DOE awardee, Ocean Power Technologies, had their wave energy device featured in part 2 of the Weather Channel feature on wave power. Check out the second clip from Wake Up With Al Roker to see how they work.
