At this point you just know its fairy dust



Hydraulic ram? Just a thought.


Still doesn't give an overall increase in energy.

Merely converts one form to a more useful one.


Surely that is all any of Harry's green dreams ever amount to? Apart

Tidal stream appears to score well on amenity but I know nothing about
installation cost/lifetime performance issues.
