Feel free.

Be picky.

What I posted was correct.

Sod Europe being our mainland.

We are an island nation.

The British Isles.

Only counting the mainland, our coastline is 11,073 miles in length.

If the larger islands are included, this increases the length to 19,491 miles.



Our tides are constantly moving.

Any movement can be harvested to generate energy.

These generators could be floating, to capture this movement.

The energy created just from the mouth of Morecambe Bay could power much of the north west.

The fact that hydro-electricity is mainly being ignored, isn't good, in my opinion.
