I really don't understand why we're not looking more seriously at wave capture power stations. They could be sited remotely, they're clean, they're green, they're predictable and reliable, plus there's no mess.

Probably too expensive!

I suspect that money comes into it one way or another, Lex. I think that shows the true commitment to going 'green'.

Sadly, that's where a lot of good things fail - they cost money (for people as well as governments & companies). Things seem to take off a lot better if money is saved or earned.
