    Why would you ignore the predictable pattern of tidal power in favour of the expensive, intrusive inconsistent delivery of wave power?

    No doubt because someone with major sway knows someone in wave power who has promised a back-hander; same as the rediculous promotion of wind power.

    I wouldn't worry, they talk about it every now and again but don't forget this is the UK, building a football stadium is considered a major engineering feat.

    Imagine all those surfers in their various pubs tonight, regaling everyone with their story of riding the bore.

    I hope it included the expert surfer on the radio this morning who said it isn't a wave, it's a swell.
