‘Turbines can create energy equal to a nuke plant’

Scientists have said that underwater generators based on wind energy could be used for harnessing enough energy to supply residents of the UK with power equivalent to a nuclear power station.

Researchers have said that the ‘TidalStream’ system built to harness the power of deep, fast-flowing tidal waters would produce somewhere between 20 to 40 per cent of Britain’s energy requirements, and provide the power capacity of a 1200-megawatt nuclear plant, enough energy for over a million households.
