REEDSPORT, Ore. — Wave energy buoys proposed for the Oregon coast could generate enough electricity to power about 2,000 homes, supporters say.

Ocean Power Technologies has installed smaller, single test buoys in Hawaii and New Jersey. But the larger buoys proposed for Oregon would be arrayed in four rows of 50 for a total of 200, requiring about 1.5 square miles of ocean, according to company consultant Steve Kopf.

"Nobody's ever done this before," Port of Umpqua Commissioner Keith Tymchuk said during a recent hearing on the proposal. "Nowhere in the United States has there been a project like this permitted before." 

Last living US WWI vet dies in W. Va. at age 110

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – He was repeatedly rejected by military recruiters and got into uniform at 16 after lying about his age. But Frank Buckles would later become the last surviving U.S. veteran of World War I.

Buckles, who also survived being a civilian POW in the Philippines in World War II, died of natural causes Sunday at his home in Charles Town, biographer and family spokesman David DeJonge said in a statement. He was 110.

A little information from the secretary of defense which will affect those of you who are retired and on tri-care, whether as a primary or secondary.
Thank goodness this increase is only for those who are of working age, although I did not see where working age stopped at.
It seems to me that would have more to do with the individual and their health... But I assume there is an age such as 65 or 72 or whatever.
Anyway thought maybe someone would be interested.
