Ghanaians cannot think apart from ndc/npp political nonsense, kwasiafuo. You have all become fools because of politics, even if you see red you will say it is green. Mmoa ankasa

Using tidal waves for power generation is an emerging innovation that even the Western countries have yet perfected and utilized for full scale implementation.

These fools heard about it and as usual, just brandishing it out like it is a solution for the dumsor.

This article seems to confuse tidal energy with wave energy!. They are two completely different technologies and should not be confused.

IT SEEMS, THE SO CALLED NOISY EDUCATED PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA ON HOW A NATION IS TRANSFORMED.

WHERE IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD EXCEPT NORWAY(AMD ONLY ON TRIAL) IS TIDAL WAVES BEING TAPPED FOR POWER GENERATION.

WE HAVE THE SUN AND WIND, AND WONDER WHY THESE NATURAL RESOURECES ARE NOT BEING THE SLIGHTEST ATTENTION AND CONCERN IN THE COUNTRY.

IT IS A PITY THE SO CALLED EDUCATED CONTINUE TO UNDERDEVELOP GHANA.

The experiment was a total failure. Ghanaians should be spared the untruths.

This is a good initiative. But I believe bio energy would have been better to help convert all the waste we generate into energy.

The government is trying to generate energy by all means possible. So you just dont sit there and say bio energy or solar energy. Yes they are all exploring all this natural resource to be able to produce energy. It is the same everywhere. Here in Sweden they produce energy from different form of energy source. so please be positive small.

Oh massa. We all are in Europe oh and we know what is going on. Is it not easy and considering the amount of waste we have to generate energy from that rather than going for tidal energy. Sweden, Finland and others are generating energy from the resources the is easy for them to access. Why can't we do the same. Currently we are ranked among the dirtiest countries in the world. Going for bio or solar would be like killing two birds with one stone. So please don't tell others to be positive is you have nothing positive to say yourself.

I don't understand these npp people oo! Are they really Ghanaians? Or is it bcoz they ve declared to make Ghana ungovernable that they ate trying everything,even if it hurts we the citizenry? Ooooh it's too bad! These people are private people that have brought this technology in partnership with government,that's y even Pelpuo's pic is there coz he is the minister of state in charge of PPP ,sp why should you, instead of commending both the government and the private sector, condemning the them? God will NOT allow you to succeed in whatever plan you have to destroy Ghana in the name of JESUS!!!

Crooks have sprung up to use our energy situation to deceive Ghanaians and the NDC government in their desperation are endorsing what they know to be wrong. This Anthony Opoku guy is an ex-convict who has served a 12 year jail term for cocaine trafficking in Thailand. Let the media question him whether this is true or not and he can't deny because it is true.

Point of correction, Pelpuo in charge of ,not PPP but private sector development! That's y his pic is there.

It is good we now have the renewable energy act, however, previous governments should have had the foresight to preper for our energy future. Failure to do that has resulted in the current embarrassing dumsor.

Renewable energy means sustainable energy, & sustainable-energy future definitely does not include significant fossil fuel energy .
Ghana' s future must therefore vigorously search for renewable sources made up of sustainable - energy development & consumption patterns. We are talking here of trying all the mix of renewables - solar, geothermal, wind, bio-fuels, waste-to -energy conversion systems, & OTEC.

OTEC stands for Ocean Thermal-Energy Conversion.

Over much of the world's oceans, a thermal gradient of about 20 degrees Celsius (36 degrees Fahrenheit) exists between surface water hated by the Sun and the colder deep water. OTEC is an emerging technology that uses this temperature difference to produce power. It surely hold great promise for our coastal cities, towns & villages.

I envisage OTEC power plants littered in our Ghanaian littoral making dumsor a forgotten memory.

Tidal wave or Sea wave cannot generate power even up to 30 megawatts. Common sense should tell us that If it was real, all the developed countries will turn to the technology because the ocean never dries and it is free. Nigeria needs power so badly and the ocean is lying free? Seawave will corrode any metal on contact that is why we are depending on Akosombo. It is a sham and the NDC government is aware but they want to divert attention.

Ghana turns to tidal waves for power
