Just watched episode 3 of an interesting programme on BBC Alba called An Lan (Tide) about the tide, and those who earn their living working with it. It is narrated in Gaelic with English subtitles, but worth a watch.There's a bit about the Surf & Turf operation in Orkney at about 46 minutes in, and tidal energy in general.https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00052k0/an-lantide-series-1-3-a-beartachadh-an-lainharnessing-the-tide
What happened to the project to harness the massive tidal energy of the Bristol channel?
Wales is a devolved government, investors may not feel money well spent if they want to be independent soon - far safer to build in England. Same for Scotland, they will probably miss out on similar investment because of all the machinations of the SNP.

Volkswagen Zwickau car plant, which is now building EVs only, is powered solely by Wind, Solar and massive battery storage. It runs 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year. If they can do it, so can the rest of us.
