Am I missing something? I cannot understand why tidal use is not being used to generate electricity.
Tides happen twice day without fail (24/7 x 365 days a year) and it's FREE. If flowing water can be used to power hydro/electric dams, then why not sea water?
The relevant turbines could surely be hidden beneath the water, unlike unsightly wind turbines and surely not that expensive to maintain.
This Country is very fortunate in being an island, we have 1,000 miles plus of coast line with many estuaries and inlets.
I have seen nothing mentioned on the current media about this amazing available resource.
Please DEBATE!
