"The rush is on to tap the waves that regularly coast toward Oregon for electricity.
At least three energy developers have plans to install parks of energy-generating buoys off the Oregon Coast.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued the preliminary permit, which is valid for three years and allows Vancouver, British Columbia-based Finavera to create a series of interconnected buoys that would be sufficient to power about 15,000 homes."
