List of wave power stations

The following page lists most power stations that run on wave power. Wave farms are classified into 8 types based on the technology used, such as Surface-following attenuator, Point absorber, Oscillating wave surge converter, Oscillating water column, Overtopping/Terminator, Submerged pressure differential, Bulge wave device, and Rotating mass.

gollark: I've discovered something immensely troubling. EFI uses UTF-16 strings.
gollark: I DON'T KNOW!
gollark: What if I want an AMD math coprocessor instead?
gollark: It's not, though, because it would mess up markdown in code blocks, hence bad.
gollark: With every attempt at writing "correct" parsing code I grow ever more tempted to run regexes over the raw markdown input.
