Does anyone have a better source of info about this? I've found "good news" in the names of things to be a reliable indicator of people who seem to believe they're trying to make the world better while polluting the information environment as much as any other fake news site. I'd rate the article as slightly less credible than a press release from the company itself.
The thing is that you probably won't find anything that looks too closely at the efficacy of the claims, because the claims are all that anything is reporting on, since the product is so new. Here is a similar article published on asme.org (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), that discusses the buoys and the company's claims surrounding them: https://www.asme.org/topics-resources/content/tapping-the-ocean
