British Sea Power

The Guardian recently published an article about a new type of underwater tidal power electricity generator being developed by a team from Oxford University.

The new turbine will be around 60m by 10m and if sited in the right place around the coast could generate 12Mw of power - enough to supply energy for 12,000 homes.

A much better and less environmentally threatening idea than a barrage across the Severn?
