SEAI, has supported the upgrade of over 100,000 homes since
March 2009 and will generate lifetime energy savings of E700
million. The European Ocean Energy Association (EU-OEA)
published a 2050 roadmap for ocean energy, highlighting the
major potential of energy produced from the flow of waves and
tides or the thermal and salinity gradients of oceans and seas.
The report estimated that installed ocean energy could reach 3.6
GW by 2030 and leap to nearly 188 GW by mid-century. In 2050, a
world-leading ocean energy industry in Europe could prevent
136.3 million tonnes of CO2 per year from being emitted into the
atmosphere and create 470,000 new green jobs,

THOUGHT: The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day
regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot
change our past – we cannot change the fact that people will act
in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only
thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is
our attitude – I am convinced that life is ten percent what
happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is
with you – we are in charge of our attitudes. Charles Swindoll.
