I'm wondering if any of the more knowledgable people on here could share their opinions of CETO versus Anaconda wave power technologies, especially now that Carnegie will be investing in the northern hemisphere market.
For those who have never heard of Anaconda, check out:

Pros of CETO
- The progress towards commercialisation of CETO is closer than that of Anaconda
- Can act as a desalinator
- The actual power plant can be built a little ways into the coast whereas anaconda would probably have to be on the shoreline
Pros of Anaconda
- possibly much cheaper: cheaper material, easier to install and easier to maintain than CETO units
I'm unsure about performance comparison - anyone done the sums of energy generation CETO vs Anaconda (if we have enough information on both yet)?
(If this topic has already been discussed please direct me to the thread as I couldnt find it with the search facilities).
