because of the onshore boom: Production hit 8.85 million barrels per day in 2016, from 5.09 million a decade earlier, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. “It is clear we don’t need to take from every portion of our oceans and coasts to maintain a healthy energy economy,” Democratic lawmakers on the House Natural Resources Committee wrote in July in a letter opposing the sanctuary review. Thanks, But No Thanks Drillers’ groups such as the American Petroleum Institute and the National Ocean Industries Association have expressed support for
Stretch for Power: High-tech Yarn Generates New Energy
one strategy for eliminating the need for batteries," he said. But the twistron's most compelling feature was the ability to operate in sea water and potentially harvest vast amounts of energy from the ocean, he added. "The grander dream is to make a real difference in the energy economy of nations," Baughman told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone. A trial in South Korea showed that a small twistron attached between a buoy and a sinker on the seabed produced electricity every time a passing wave pulled the yarn. Baughman said that the technique could
