Tonight on RTÉ One at 7:00 pm, on the final episode of the current series of Eco Eye, Dr. Lara Dungan will look at Ireland's potential to solve the energy crisis with the power of the ocean.
We all know an energy crisis is looming, and while we have all tried to become more energy efficient via solar power, wind power and turning off our lights before bed, there is still a long way to go.
How can we capture the power of the waves and the tides? Are we getting closer to a breakthrough here in Ireland? @EcoEye Tues. 7pm @RTEOne pic.twitter.com/fP1KAfR2ub

As a country, we are largely dependent on conventional sources such as coal and gas, but as a tiny island we are surrounded by one of the most powerful energy sources in the world - the ocean!
Could there be enough #energy in the crashing #waves and the ebbing #tide for all our energy needs? @EcoEye Tues. 7th March, 7pm on @RTEOne pic.twitter.com/6ztxzEWlfT
