Tidal.

[Mark Bolam]

If Papillion can do it, surely engineers can work it out.

I've read the book ( about 30yrs ago ) don't remember the tidal energy bit, but then again I'm a forgetful old bastard😞

Took im out to sea on a coconut raft as I recall....

 

Pretty damn clever to build an edible and drinkable boat!

And after the drinks and the eating you get that sinking feeling!

So I asked the wife who works in a related field. She says "barrages are really problematic to wildlife and all the other solutions are technologically limited or untested. There are also limited tidal sites. As for wave the technology just does not exist"

this just about sums it up... not so much the problems that must be many, but the lack of locations to apply systems..

 

With wind you can scale up, with tidal estuaries you'd have to have a bespoke system for each location.. meaning economies of scale can't be applied as economically.. if at all...

 

With that, its safe to say tidal energy is dead in the water.. I'd not even considered that before..

 

Theres also the grid to consider, would they have to upgrade that for tidal electric, and would it be worth it for a couple of towns worth of electric?..

Greed's gonna sink us all if we don't practice much less gluttony!

 

Henri knew moderation was crucial to iz survival, and planned for it accordingly!

It certainly has challenges, but it's a constant energy, and the only completely predictable one, why would you not try your very hardest to harness that? It makes total sense to me!!

Stinks of socialism and tree huggers, eh Vesp?

 

If only there was a way to incorporate the moon, appoint a board of directors, and sell the tidal energy for whatever the market'll bear!
