Sustainable Sea Waves

Since Malta depends totally on the imports of fossil fuels for the provision of energy, it would be worthwhile if another source of energy acquisition be considered for the Maltese Islands. Transforming the energy of waves into usable energy is a valuable source of energy that is constantly present, in the sea waves. This is formed by the wind energy which is transmitted to the sea causing the formations of waves, which then is transported towards the coasts. This source of energy is considered to be a clean and safe source of power which could be explored and exploited in Malta. Since the Maltese Islands get rough high sea waves due to the high winds of 96 km/h this could be an innovation for Malta to start generating energy from sea waves. Because of climate change, there is a growing interest worldwide for renewable energy, including wave energy.

Wied Incita

This is a view of the upper part of Wied Inċita which starts off from the countryside surrounding the village of Attard. This is a short walking distance from my home and I visit the place regularly. Unfortunately this part of the valley is not appreciated by many as it is very close to a busy road and throughout most of the year it is usually dry and not particularly attractive. But when it rains for several days, water starts to stream through it and in a short period of time all kinds of plants and flowers start to grow. If you are lucky you might also come across tadpoles swimming and frogs hopping around. What makes me angry is the lack of appreciation for the natural environment of some people who litter this gem of a place with empty bottles and other rubbish.
