Scotland the Wave (tidal power takes over in the north)
Posted Tue, 20 Sep 2016 08:40:31 GMT by Paul RobinsonWave power or tidal power? The answer probably depends on where you are. If you have the frightening power that has always inspired names like Cape Wrath, then those tides should produce the most power in Europe. On the other hand, the regular movement of waves could well be capable of inspiring a design to accumulate energy over a lengthy period, albeit with less energy production per unit.

Hybrid energy: bacteria+solar harvesting!
Posted Tue, 21 Apr 2015 09:14:16 GMT by Paul RobinsonHow soon will real solar harvesting take place on a truly large scale, that will make our use of fossil fuels truly obsolete? That question still needs a really astute answer, but the time is rapidly approaching, even if this new hybrid photosynthesis fails to deliver quickly enough.
