Energy Ocean: Obama's Dept of Interior sets course for US wave & tidal energy

On June 15, 2009 Maureen Bornholdt of the federal Office of Offshore Alternative Energy Programs gave this 40 minute keynote speech to the participants of Energy Ocean 09, at the Samoset Resort in Rockport Maine. Bornholdt describes how her office (a branch of the US Interior Department) has been given the mandate of rationalizing the exploitation of alternative ocean energy in federal and US EEZ waters. To that end she and her staff have put together a Framework to guide the granting of leases, easements and rights of way for renewable energy on the Outer Continental Shelf. Bornholdt's talk was followed by a lengthy Q & A session, that is being uploaded seperately.
