Ocean's Energy
- "Most of the ocean's energy is a secondary form of solar energy; that is, the original radiation has been converted into heat or motion or photosynthesis. The rest of the harnessable energy comes from the celestial mechanics of earth rotation and gravitation." - excerpt from the book, Waves and Beaches, by Willard Bascom, Anchor Books, 1980, pg. 193.
