I see those wind turbines and the floating wave power towers for producing electricity.I was curious, is the Great Lakes good for producing wind and wave power generation like in the Oceans? Thanks!

The wave power is not a good option for the Great Lakes. Although you could generate some power, I don’t believe that it would be a viable option for the cost to energy produced ratio. The waves just don’t have the umph as the ocean. Of course, if you had the capital for the wave power, given enough time you could pay back the investment easily. Wind power though would be great solution there. Wind power provides more energy than our current solar-power technology, and you can be charging your battery bank overnight, as well as during the day.
