  3. One of the most interesting technologies, (for the production of energy from waves) uses a new project, produced by K.I. Energy ( info@kienergy.co.kr ) the new system, product in Korea, (presented to “Korea Green Energy Show” in Seoul- October 13 – 16, 2009, based in Busan, Republic of Korea, a city of six million people, facing the Pacific Ocean), produces for 1 Kmq, of the sea surface or ocean, at least 1 GW or more, (instant, 24 GW for day, GW 8.760 – year), production equal to 1 nuclear reactor of a 1GW, operating at 100 % throughout the year, which produces 8.7 TW, but without the drawbacks of nuclear power. This new company does not sell systems, the company sell energy and can be contacted by governments or companies producing or distributing energy.
