Wind, wave, water and tidal power cascade over us. There is wood in our forests. There are hot rocks beneath Cornwall and Durham, gas under Lancashire and enough coal under the North Sea to last centuries. We could easily buy sufficient uranium to keep us going indefinitely. And if we were to crack ...

However, Rotheram predicted projected costs are likely to have come down substantially in the intervening years and he has commissioned a new feasibility study which is due to report in the coming months. Meanwhile, advocates of tidal power maintain it delivers significant advantages over other forms of ...

In the case of tidal power, the fly in the ointment is that the generating equipment must be fabricated, transported to site, maintained, decommissioned, and eventually transported home for disposal or recycled. All of this requires energy, presumably from non-renewable sources. Whether it's worth it or not ...

But just like the energy sources they seek to replace, such as carbon-spewing oil and coal, these new sources of green energy will inevitably cause some environmental damage. Skeptics and scientists have raised a range of hypothetical ways in which wave and tidal power infrastructure could hurt animals ...
