Tidal Power a Reality

Interesting use of tidal energy, but at $100,000 per household by the end of 2004, this technology has a long way to go. And what about maintainance? Do deep sea diving experts have to come out every time there is a glitch to fix the turbines? Maybe a breakthrough, but many questions need to be answered before I sign my tax dollars up.

I recently started trolling and I can not stop, its like an addiction. I find it so amusing to post troll comments and to read them that it is the only reason that I read Slashdot. I really need some help, my mind is starting to crack and I can not stop laughing at inapropriate moments remembering past slash trolls, I also drink more too
