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.

But it's likely something we could do in house. And not rely on the likes
of China to provide the know how.

I've got a name for this. Taking back control. ;-)
