Hopeful News
You never know what's the next Big Thing, and what's hype. Remember the Wankel engine? It was going to change everything.
Only it didn't.
But this looks good. Scientists at the University of Michigan have built something that efficiently converts the movement of water (tide, current) into significant amounts of electricity, even if the water is moving slowly. Sounds good. Hope it holds up.
Afterthought: Why are we reading about this in a British newspaper?
