Plants growing on the ocean floor sway gently back and forth with the motion of the waves. How cool would it be to be able to harness that energy to generate electricity?  Well, that's just what Australian energy company BioPower Systems is attempting to do.

Collaborating with the City of San Francisco, they are investigating wave energy generation from the Pacific Ocean through their Oceanside Wave Energy Project.

It is anticipated that the potential energy generated could power anywhere between 3,000 and 30,000 homes annually.

Now that's catching a wave!
