Forgive me for saying this emphatically, but it's about fucking time. Hydroelectric power plants have been around a long time producing cheap and reliable electricity. Tidal forces are even cheaper and more reliable. Windmills and solar panels are never going to be sufficient sources of electricity. They cost so much that they wouldn't even exist but for government subsidies...

keep then coming Jack, I spent 40 years in the industry and all wind mills are is a feel good. When my dad moved onto this place there was no power, there was a windcharger and a windmill to pump water. My dad was very happy when the power lines came to the farm. His old tale was every time he wanted to pump water, the wind quit blowing.
