Answer:

Explanation:

Wave generators utilize wave energy from water and wind to get power for domestic and commercial needs.

As renewable and environmentally friendly this source of power can be, it has its own short fall;

  • It can poses serious threat to tourism potentials of the beach area since part of the beach will have to be converted to develop this power plant.
  • Marine ecosystem will get disturbed. Also, birds flying by can get killed when they move close to the blades.
  • The power generation might be seasonal.
  • It leads to thermal, visual and noise pollution of the beach area.
