The original write up about that windmill on Blackpool prom seemed to indicate it would run at a loss, but there were later statistics which indicated otherwise. It all depends on the agenda of the person producing the statistics. What about wave power? We are an island and we've always got tides.

What about wave power? By definition the contraptions that convert wave movement into electricity have to be in the sea. When the sea levels rise these contraptions will get submerged. It’s the same for off shore wind farms.

The question is will the sea levels rise high enough? Who knows? The government is considering a new Thames barrier scheme because the current one will not cope with potential sea level rise. So I guess sea levels will rise during this century.
