Lunar Underwater Turbine In Grid Trial

"How do you do?"

Underwater turbines to greet the moving sea,
"How do you do?" and "What is new" for currents passing through,
Loan us your energy, for it is great to be,
A given source to drive the lights and power industry.

Korean Midland Power, is sure to be the tower,
And take the lead rejoicing that the sea will be our friend,
To spin the tidal turbines in ocean haunts our sea mines,
Bringing up the energy that will not ever end.

I would like to know about the costs of this technology. Anyone around knows about this?

Love the haku adrian aku.

I think it would be really interesting to see if the Maldives has any take-up on tidal power. They have a zero-carbon plan and as a diver I know that they have some ferocious currents which run through the channels between the atolls. You'd have to make them diver-free zones, though, I can see some unfortunate incidents if not...

Jankleyn: according to the Lunar Energy website, installation of the scheduled 300 units will cost 500 million pounds, or about 1.67 million pounds (approx. $2.67 million) per 1 MW turbine.

using the sea you could possibly change the water current and adversely affect the natural ocean flows, destroying nature even more.

I can't see that if the units were put into areas that see huge tidal changes and the units use a fraction of that to power-up how there could be any big changes or adverse affects.
Youghal Harbour in Co Cork has a race of 18knots. NOTHING lives in that- allright lot's get washed along. Let that run over a submersible tidal turbine See what power that produces right at the foot of the town.
Transmission worries ?? - no worries.

cost and the distroying of and adversely affect of the natural ocean flows, destroying nature even more as apposed to the millions of pounds of co2 being released into the atmosphere by coil, oil and gas. i think i'll take my chances with underwater turbines. i say put them up and down the east and west coasts of the america's, asia and africa and also use some of that power to desalinate the waters so no human needs to go without water to hydrate themselves or there arid lands. do you think that would be worth the cost jankleyn. also bring offshore wind to new york.

Plenty of bridge and wharf abutments that can support small ocean hydro; but no one wants to do the obvious and least expensive.

Plenty of islands with expensive power that should be priorities for Governors; but the action is at expensive conferences hob nobbing with big money investors and grantor agencies.
