Seamor Marine Debuts New ROV with 3km Capacity
generation company, Electron Investment SA (EISA), purchased Seamor Marine’s Chinook ROV to perform 7.1 km of tunnel and penstock inspection at its Old Chiriqui River hydroelectric project and identify any areas in need of repair.The Monte Lirio project opened in 2014 and generates 51.6 MW of clean energy. The Pando project opened in 2019 and generates 33.3 MW.“One of the main reasons we chose an ROV to inspect the tunnels was that it was much less costly both financially and environmentally than the alternative of draining the tunnels for inspection,” said Iván Parra, Civil

Offshore Wind & Politics: Elizabeth Warren
statement:“The science is clear. The world’s leading experts have long known that climate change is caused by human beings, it is here, and it is accelerating.”Warren presents a veritable library of energy and climate issues and ideas.Central focus: a 10-year plan to achieve 100% clean energy by decarbonizing electricity, vehicles and buildings. She proposes:• A “Green Apollo” plan – investing $400 billion in 10 years in R&D. Outcomes would be linked to her –• “Green Manufacturing” plan, a 10-year, $1.5 trillion investment
Offshore Wind & Politics: Joe Biden
.Joe Biden Policy statement:“From coastal towns to rural farms to urban centers, climate change poses an existential threat – not just to our environment, but to our health, our communities, our national security, and our economic well-being.”Biden presents “The Biden Plan for A Clean Energy Revolution and Environmental Justice.” Some important goals:• Double offshore wind generation by 2030.• Ban new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters.• Use renewables to produce carbon-free hydrogen at the same cost as that from shale gas.• Develop inexpensiv
Pioneering Ocean Energy Innovation in New England: Wind and Water
, a business incubator where many of marine renewable energy’s leading lights started – Resolute Marine, ORPC, and Littoral Power. They gravitated to the CIE because of its prototyping capability, access to student interns and location at the heart of the marine technology and clean energy ecosystem in the South Coast of Massachusetts.The CIE’s new director, Phil Adams, a forward-thinking energy entrepreneur welcomed participants and remarked, “to me, it’s pretty clear that our voracious appetite for energy has created the greenhouse gas effect. We reached

forward to introducing the next generation offshore wind turbine to the market. For decades, Ørsted has pioneered the introduction of new technology and new suppliers which has been fundamental to drive down the cost of electricity, and today offshore wind is a competitive source of homegrown clean energy that can help countries and states achieve their climate targets while creating long-lasting economic activity.”In the US alone, seven states on the east coast have committed to building a total of 20 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity by 2035, emphasizing the need for a broad and
