Which spot had you in mind? UK or world-wide? A tidal barrage, like La
Rance in France, or tidal flow, like in the Pentland Firth?

I suspect he'll say Bristol Channel, and when it's pointed out that tidal is
no better that wind for providing continuous 24x7 power, he'll say that we
build another at Grimsby or wherever the tide is in a suitably different
phase. It'll be the usual story of not noticing that he's built two power
stations to get the output of one.

Gulf of St. Lawrence?
