Postitive aspects of the wave energy (2 groups)enviornment, money/cost, other:

Once a wave power station is constructed, the energy is free, requires no fuel inputs and produces no waste or pollution. Not expensive to operate and maintain. Renewable energy source __//**wave energy could potentially produce 40–70 kilowatts (kW) per meter (3.3 feet) of western coastline, and the west coast of the U.S. is more than a 1,000 miles long. **//__ It is simply possible that the components and installation of the machines will cause ever so slight disturbances in the sea beds. Fish are known to gather around rock reefs and man-made structures. The fish will most likely go to the structures built and be protected by fishing. The fish population will grow. It is thought that there will be no adverse affects on the fish from the machines to obtain wave energy.

Unlike dams, wave power structures that are equally long-lived promise comparatively benign environmental effects. Wave power is renewable, green, pollution-free, and environmentally invisible, if not beneficial, particularly offshore. Its net potential (resource minus "costs") is equal to or better than wind, solar, small hydro or biomass power.
