Taipei, Taiwan [Taiwan Headlines]

The government is now discussing the possibility of large-scale ocean current power generation, using the strong Kuroshio current off the east coast of Taiwan to generate up to 1.68 trillion kilowatt-hours per year, officials at cabinet-level Council for Economic Planning and Development (CEPD) said Monday.

Nuclear reactor is no good in japan. Japan is surrounded by the wide sea. So renewable energy in wave power must be developed much more.
I have innovated "Simple and Low cost floating wave power plant".
This innovation is remarkable for taking the following two steps about transformation ocean wave energy into electric energy.
First step: Transformation ocean wave energy into potential energy of weight
by winding up polyester fiber belt round reel,
Second step: Transformation potential energy of weight into electric energy by
winding off polyestel fiber belt round reel.
So that we can acccumulate much potential energy on sea easily, and we can
produce electric energy on demand.
That is to say, we can accumulate much electric energy by ocean wave energy.
