A FEW weeks ago, a reader asked me to write about Scotland’s massive tidal energy resources. The promise of tapping tidal energy as a reliable part of our power generation mix has been tantalisingly close for a long time without it becoming a reality.
Scotland can become the sustainable energy capital of Europe. The seas surrounding the country – not just the mainland, but its many islands – will provide us with wind, wave, tide, and hydrogen. All will be usable long after we have finally abandoned oil and gas.
