Serious potential for wave generated power off the west coast, though I'm sure the Nimbys will stick their oar in...

If they're rowing a boat through those waves they deserve everything they get! (sorry, couldn't resist)

One such brainwave re taxation is to tax SUVs more as they take up more road space. Sounds silly TBH, and a tax by KM system will be a lot fairer.

Other ways: Wind, pumped storage, hydro, solar, the Celtic Interconnector importing 700mWh from french Nuclear grid. 

I think they're actually planning to have a power transfer capability of 700MW.

700mWh would be about the energy capacity of a AAA rechargeable cell.

 

Reminds me of the time someone ordered 1000m of brass bar, instead of 1000mm - the lorry drivers were surprised when he asked them to leave it under his desk...
