I never said there was huge potential in this country. There is huge
potential for tidal power..
How would you do that and where ?..

Dam from the hills North of London to the Downs South of London. Flood
the Thames Valley. A desirable side effect would be to get rid of all
the politicians when London drowned.

where would you get the water from without pumping it in?

There's a river or several running into that area, in case you'd not
noticed... It's at least a thousand square miles of cachment area for
hydro. For tidal, a barrier from Sheerness to Southend would do a
reasonable job, with a decent reservoir area and a three or four meter
difference between high and low water.

Inserts tongue firmly in cheek Or you could use nuclear power to pump
it in from the Channel.
