GARDINER, Ore. (AP) — As the price of a barrel of oil continues to surge, scientists are turning to the ocean as a possible source of alternative energy.

'There's a real good chance that Oregon could turn into kind of the focal point in the United States for wave energy development and I think that would be a boon to the economy,' said Gary Cockrum, spokesman for the Central Lincoln People's Utility District."
