Oregonians Unsure About Wave Energy | Natural Oregon

Oregonians Unsure About Wave Energy | Natural Oregon: "The drive to develop wave energy off the Oregon coast may be moving too quickly for many people in the state.

A new survey by Oregon State University shows that while a lot of Oregonians like the idea of wave energy, they’re also concerned about impacts on the coastal environment and commercial fishing.

One of the authors of the study is OSU sociology professor Flaxen Conway. Conway has been working for years with coastal residents, helping them try to understand the affects of wave energy and other demands being placed on the coast."
