There was someone from one of the "green" organisations on this subject

stoves or camp fires to pollute the atmosphere).

If it was the same interview I heard, they were on about tidal power as
being the only reliable one. Thought that had already been costed and it's
also the most expensive 'renewable' by miles.


I fail to see how anything that incorporates permanent contact
with, or existance near salt water can be termed reliable, unless
it is built to nuclear engineering standards, in which case ...

I visit Worthing regularly and the way the sea scours away
and corrodes anything metal (or timber) is awsome.
