Evan Variano, a professor at UC Berkeley, is using an underwater kite to explore ways to harness the power of ocean currents and tides as renewable energy. The project, covered by Berkeley Engineering, draws attention to tidal power as a less-discussed alternative to wind and solar, with the kite design allowing turbines to reach faster currents higher in the water column.
Why now: Growing interest in novel renewable energy technologies as the energy transition accelerates
