1. Wave power

  • • Carbon neutral (if plants are grown at the same rate as being burned). • Reliable as crops grow quickly
  • • No atmospheric pollution due to burning of fossil fuels • No fuel costs and minimal running costs
  • • No atmospheric pollution due to burning of fossil fuels • Smaller solution for limited populations
  • • Can respond immediately to increased demand, fast start-up. • Reliable (except if there is a drought) • No fuel costs and minimal running costs • Potential to be used as part of pumped storage scheme
