I agree with your entire post but the tidal bit needs investigation.Tidal/wave/Atlantic swell has such vast potential that I feel there has been some element of fraud in diverting investment to wind and to giving such massive subsidies to wind at the expense of wave and solar and bio-gases.I say this because of the Enron outfit having so much input to the subsidy system.They were behind the very large offshore windfactory near Arklow in Ireland. I have no documentary proof of this....yet. But think it out,the least productive possibility got all the money,very strange indeed.Incidentally I worked for a time at Finham water treatment plant in Coventry [many years ago] where the poo was fermented and ran 6X 600 Hp generators.
