Abstract:

The UK possesses natural resources in wind, tide and wave energy capable of making a significant impact on its CO₂ emissions.

It owes a duty to the international community to exploit these resources in the global battle against climate change and towards sustainability.
Tidal barrages in the estuaries of the Northwest would be capable of meeting about half the region's electricity need.
