If you look at a modern sea generators they use a piston type which moves by the waves and can produce electricity 24 he's all year and when the waves go up and down so do the fish so no harm like the old sea generator in Strangford lough which has blades.
Does your car spill oil on the road. You can make pistons work which would not pulluted the sea as much as Gas and oil and the by product plastics which they produce from gas and oil.
Well your ability to construct an argument is not very clear and confused. Where is your evidence to support your argument that you are trying to make on this board. Stick to your day job by the way.
Thing is Naz, I think most people would totally agree with your overarching stance against fossil fuels and the urgent need to shift to green alternatives. I don't believe fracking is a good idea. A process that creates earthquakes no matter how small is asking for trouble. I've paid extra for 100% green energy for years because I can afford it and because I'm taking personal responsibility. I also now cycle to work instead of driving. But, the practicalities involved in transitioning a complex industrialised economy from mostly fossil fuels to 100% renewable is not straight forward or quick. You must realise that? We need a smart managed transition to fulfil our Paris commitments. If you were in charge, would you shut all the carbon burning power stations down overnight? The factories would stop working,people would be out of jobs on the million, investment would cease as all remaining energy sources were ploughed into keeping critical services like hospitals going. We'd have to have rationed energy like they do in parts of Africa. plus one cold snap over winter or a lull in wind or sun and a lot of vulnerable and isolated people would die of exposure. What would you say to their families? Surely, the reasonable thing to do is exactly what is happening: ramp up most cost effective and efficient green alternatives asap (I see UK gov just invested another huge amount in offshore wind today), which takes time to iterate and improve, shield simultaneously ramping down on the dirtiest fuels like coal and oil. Gas is the cleanest and cheapest of the fossil fuels. Can't you see that Islandmagee and gas generally is enabling this transition?
