If you're sitting in an open plan office, count the number of surrounding colleagues and you don't need to be a maths genius to appreciate the possibilities of tapping into all that wasted energy. <br/><br/>Instead it could provide a renewable energy source to power office lighting or laptops - and it may be possible to recharge your mobile phone by walking to the photocopier.&quot; <br/><br/>I searched for &quot;stairs&quot; on the plime search engine, and it only seemed to catch around nineteen hits. So I guess this one's good. :)]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Catching The Tide]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/11041/1/</link><description><![CDATA[The viability of harnessing waves as a lucrative renewable energy source received a boost last week following the announcement that the world's first commercial wave energy project will begin delivering wave-generated energy to the north of Portugal later this month.<br/><br/>also see <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/alternative-energy/newest-alternative-energy-portugals-wave-power-plant" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wave Power - get electricity from waves]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/86851/1/</link><description><![CDATA[I didn't know there were so many ways to try to get energy from waves.
