Tidal Energy Breakthrough

This 2MW prototype turbine off Orkney generated more electricity in the first 12 months than Scotland’s entire wave and tidal sector before it. UK firms continue working on tidal energy technology which remains expensive due to high maintenance costs from wear-and-tear. At times this one turbine generated enough to power over a quarter of Orkney’s homes.

The BBC Expands Climate Change Coverage

With the chilling headline “‘If Europe’s ports are underwater, Brexit may seem less important’” this week the BBC announces it will commit to covering climate change on its flagship Radio 4 and World Service programmes at least once a week. It is great news that the mainstream media is finally reporting on climate change and their first story will be on Norway’s mission to become Europe’s renewable energy “battery.”
