I like the idea of tidal power as it is constant and predictable. But
will the technology ever be up to it?


It's not constant. It's periodic.


We've done that bit:-)

Going sideways, how about pension investment in nuclear?


Damn good idea if e gi8vernment would

(a) set clear simple regulations that will not be retrospectively applied.

(b) Stop interfering. And make all subsidies to power plants illegal.


Having this disposed of windmills, tidal lagoons, solar panels and all
the other dross, the investment decisions would be much simpler, and we
could build nuclear plants without worrying that 5 years down the road
some intellectually challenged lefty**** parliament wouldn't close them
all down.
