Scottish Wave Energy Plans Move Forward
It's been a long time coming (2007, 2005, and 2002 respectively), but the project to harness wave energy off the Scots coast is finally coming together. Reader krou writes: "The BBC is reporting that ten sites on the seabed off Scotland in Pentland Firth and around Orkney have been leased to energy companies with the hopes of generating wave and tidal energy. 'Six sites have been allocated for wave energy developments potentially generating 600 megawatts of power and four for tidal projects, also generating 600 MW.' The leases were awarded to SSE Renewables Developments, Aquamarine Power, ScottishPower Renewables, E.ON, Pelamis Wave Power, OpenHydro Site Developments, and Marine Current Turbines. Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said that 'These waters have been described as the Saudi Arabia of marine power and the wave and tidal projects unveiled today — exceeding the initial 700MW target capacity — underline the rich natural resources of the waters off Scotland.'"
Lots and lots of it. A new analysis of the causality of motion reveals that Aristotle was right to insist that inertial motion needs a cause and that, as a result, normal matter is immersed in an immense lattice of energetic particles, without which motion would be impossible. Soon, we will use this knowledge to create technologies that will allow us to tap into the lattice for energy production and super fast transportation. Floating sky cities, New York to Beijing in minutes, Earth to Mars in hours! That's real the future of energy and transportation. Almost every other form of energy production (waves, fossil fuel, geothermal, solar, wind, etc.) and transportation (cars, airplanes, jets, rockets, boats, trains, etc.) will become obsolete. Even normal walking will become rare.
