The only renewable energy that I think is worth investing in.


One of the many that absolutely are not.

Price/performance is utter ****, its still intermittent and its
massively disruptive of marine ecosystems.

In short its got nothing going for it at all.

Despite the article claiming it is a tidal barrage, if you follow the
link to the company's page, it is actually a tidal flow system:
effectively underwater versions of windmills. While I would advocate a
wholly nuclear solution, if we do have to have renewable energy to keep
the greens happy, tidal flow is probably the least intrusive and most
predictable.
