Wind Power versus Wave Power
– a Debate

Although the subject of wind power and wave power does not appear to have any immediate money saving attributes, these alternative forms of power will have enormous potential for saving money when set against the continuous and increasing demand, and in the end, diminishing oil reserves. These systems have the potential ability to create electricity without which no established civilisation can exist.

So.....this begs the question - which would you prefer to see, wind farms scattered over some of the wildest and most beautiful scenery in the British Isles, or huge water barriers at various points of our coastline, i.e., the Bristol Channel or parts of the Thames?

Looking back over history to the 19th century, this was the time when the River Thames froze over and was the site of the Winter Fairs with braziers being lit on the ice for warmth and cooking snacks.

There were not the facilities then for sending research ships to the Pole to ascertain what the ice flow was doing - melting or remaining static, so it is impossible to see this side of the argument. However, many scientists have been saying for some time now that the 'global warming' theory is, pardon the phrase, a load of hot air.
