"During the early hours of this morning … our tidal stream array off the coast of the Pentland Firth became the first tidal stream array in the world to generate 50GWh of electricity," Graham Reid, the CEO of SAE Renewables, said in a statement Monday.But though there's excitement about the potential of marine energy, the footprint of tidal stream projects remains much smaller than that of other renewables.
"During the early hours of this morning … our tidal stream array off the coast of the Pentland Firth became the first tidal stream array in the world to generate 50GWh of electricity," Graham Reid, the CEO ofReid described the news as a "significant milestone in delivering tidal stream power at scale."
"Total global generation from all other tidal devices and sites is less than 50% of that amount," he added. Located in waters north of mainland Scotland, SAE Renewables' MeyGen array is made up of four 1.5 megawatt turbines and has a total capacity of 6 MW when fully operational. Currently, three turbines are in operation.
"The MeyGen site has been operational since 2017, we have overcome many challenges, with reliability being an issue in the early days, but we have learned an immense amount along the way," Reid said.

China's solar, wind power projects need more policy support, says energy authorityChina's renewable energy projects are struggling to get access to land, while in some areas, the grid cannot absorb all the power generated, the country's energy authority said, as it called for further policy support for the fast-growing industry. Cannot get access to land? What piffle! It has a national grid here.. doesn't matter where they build them.. Comical. China created a show to get more of our money for climate change I wonder how many petrodollar, pumpjack, whores sit amongst the deities of the “energy authority”? you can’t really taint what’s already tilted by crude underpinnings

What Is dark energy?Dark energy is the name physicists have given to the mysterious thing driving the universe's accelerated expansion. It may be a force or a form of energy, and one piece of evidence suggests it is hidden inside black holes. umm yeah ... that would be called plasma, DuH.! Ha Shem. El Shaddai has His Universe. He said I am not a Man. Many religions worship a man. That is Idol Worship. Repent. Come back to the One True God. At least with my Eighth husband, I got the last name right.
