 * Barry, Chris. “Alternative Energy From the Sea: The New Paradigm, a Call to Action.”** **__Marine Technology and SNAME News__ 44.2 (April 2007): 31-34.**

This article is an edited presentation given by Chris Barry, chair of the Small Craft Committee for the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Barry argues that the U.S. is in need of a new energy paradigm and that ocean energy can provide ways of mitigating the U.S. “addiction to oil.” Two of the energy sources Barry describes are Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion and ocean farming. The article provides insight into energy sources and types of conservation that are not typical talking points in the mainstream media. (Katie Ertmer)
