Which article are you evaluating?
Ocean Grazer

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
In relation to my class, we are looking at certain kinds of renewable sources of energy(Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuclear, etc.) The two that peak my interest the most are Nuclear, because of its reputation in the eyes of the public, and hydro because 71% of the planet is a potential water source for hydropower. But the ocean grazer, a conceptual idea and solution to increasing the usability of renewable sources of E, would be working within the capacity of including wind, solar, and wave energy.

Evaluate the article
The article starts off with the topic in bold, clearly identifying the topic about to be discussed within the page. Defining the terms "renewable energy" and 3 kinds of renewable E, the author sets the groundwork for the readers to understand what the ocean grazer is attempting to accomplish. The first time reading through, I missed the part that describes that the ocean grazer is not an actual platform but a concept, an idea. This is something I might improve if I were to edit the article and include a more in depth explanation as to the conceptualized idea which is the ocean grazer. The article includes a explanation of the operation and how the energy will be converted through primarily wave energy. The article barley touches on how the ocean grazer produces electrical energy through solar and wind power. This could be blamed on the conceptuality of the project itself but it would be helpful to be addressed. Some of the sources used to produce this page were from the ocean grazer website itself which would be a highly biased source. There are no images provided on the page nor much activity in the Talk page for this article. A suggestion from an editor was to include an article that goes more in depth on the complexity of electrical grids and power systems. This article seems underdeveloped but so is the topic so for as much is being accomplished on the ocean grazer operation itself, the page reflects just that.
