A report published by a consortium including DECC and some of the bigger energy companies earlier this year found that the full wind, wave and tidal resource potential of the UK is six times larger than current electricity demand and that harnessing just 29 per cent of this could create 145,000 jobs between now and 2050.
Following the opening of the world's largest offshore wind farm - Thanet Offshore Wind Farm in Kent - Friends of the Earth is reiterating its call on the Government to urgent... [more]

An Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) event taking place in Italy later this month will lokk into how to harness the power of Europe’s coastline and its significant tidal currents.
Organised by the IET Italy local network, the talk, entitled: “Tidal energy – silent, invisible, predictable and renewable”, will look at tidal power as an alternative energy source. It will cover the challenges that must be overcome, the technologies that are being developed and the environmental iss... [more]
