1.   Also, tidal power generators must be designed to withstand severe wave action and the corrosive effects of seawater.

2.   Experts have also argued that Britain has the most favourable conditions in Europe for the exploitation of wind, wave and tidal power.

3.   In the terms of the study, renewable sources include wind and tidal power as well as waste incineration.

4.   There are also plans for a major tidal power system on the Severn Estuary and research is continuing into wave power systems.

5.   The Department of Energy study of wave power did likewise, as did the report of Government tidal power study group.

6.   A small power plant on the island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland, could hold the key to capturing tidal power.

7.   Sixty percent of the energy to run the wheel will come from Thames tidal power, and part of the rest from solar power, the Standard said.
