My wife is a social worker and she has 30 cases when she should only have 12. She works in child services as well. Its easy to blame social workers but they are short staffed and underfunded.

WWW.OFFSHORE-ENERGY.BIZ
Proteus Marine Renewables (PMR) has installed Japan’s first megawatt-scale tidal turbine, in the Naru Strait.

 

Because they cost a bloody fortune to build, install and maintain. The areas with sufficient tidal flow to make it worthwhile are by nature a nightmare to carry out Subsea Construction in be it with divers or rovs. There are a few around the UK. Something like the Severn Barrage which has been talked about for god knows how long would be a far better option long term.  Second highest tidal range in the world down there the energy potential is huge. We just don’t have the balls as a nation it seems to do such things nowadays.
