This is some way of actually making money. I think of it as being where wind power was 15 years ago. For me the plain good sense of it has a magic attraction and I love the engineering. Money men dont like the idea of things being covered by the ocean ( corrosion, getting bashed up by waves etc )
So this will dribble on for years to come because in this class of energy generation ie Ocean power, there are unresolved issues about which is best : buoys, seabed turbines ( EON ), hinged surface floats etc and there is no Institutional back up of £billions behind it yet. If I get involved it will be here with OPT because I dig the Engineering as a method of extracting energy from the Oceans. It might still be a year or two early.
There is one big plus which as yet hasnt been covered by the pundits. With arrays of numerous buoy planted around our coasts ( Energy Farms ), they will in a practical sence become exclusion zones to shipping and fishing thus providing isolated breeding zones for fish and benefiting the coastal environment and fish resource.
