It looks though as if batteries weren't included as part of the deployment to even out power supply which seems “peculiar”.

"“If the decision is to go ahead with adopting more and more AI – which I am surprised is not being questioned more at a time of climate emergency – then it is going to be better with a #renewableenergy source,” said Barfield."

Fascinating talk in Stromness last night - much of it on #windpower and Big Finance; how do local communities gain any value? Came away wanting to understand apparent under-funding of locally developed #wavepower and (non-barrage) #tidalpower. Any thoughts? #Orkney #Shetland @fionaorkneynews or @theferret

@fcalva Are you kidding? There's #solar, #geothermal, #windpower, #TidalPower, etc., etc. All of those should be developed over gas and oil. Also, NO NUKES FOR AI AND DATACENTERS! Seriously!!! AI and Datacenters are SUCKING UP way more energy than day-to-day living!

#NoNukesForAI #RenewableEnergy #RenewablesNow!

@asiny Wow, #tidalpower finally gets real? Unconvinced by europesays image, and let's make #renewables #replacefossilpower, not simply add.
But back to this story: ecological impacts and materials/engineering issues have always been key problem areas; obviously company website isn’t going to divulge!
Hivemind, feed my curiosity...

Tidal Electricity: A tidal turbine in the Pentland Firth has been in operation for over six years – tidal is a part of the utopian technological solution package for the environmental crisis, so let’s cut through this piece of commerical PR for a bit of a reality check: ... #Renewables, #TidalPower, #Degrowth, #UtopianTechnologism, #Scotland: https://aye.tf/2025/07/14/tidal

"Underwater turbine spinning for 6 years off Scotland's coast is a breakthrough for tidal energy"

"Tidal energy technologies are still in the early days of their commercial development, but their potential for generating clean energy is big... marine energy, a term researchers use to refer to power generated from tides, currents, waves or temperature changes, is the world’s largest untapped renewable energy resource."

Underwater turbine spinning for 6 years off Scotland's coast is a breakthrough for tidal energy

Submerged in about 40 meters of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides and generate electricity. The trade association Ocean Energy Europe says keeping such a large turbine operating in the harsh sea environment that long is a record that demonstrates the technology's commercial viability. Tidal energy technologies are still in the early days of their commercial development, but their potential for generating clean energy is big. The MeyGen tidal energy project has four turbines that power up to 7,000 homes annually.

Tidal energy is the next big wave in renewables! 🌊

The Bay of Fundy’s Minas Passage could power millions of homes with clean, predictable energy. Experts say global investment and public support are key to unlocking this massive potential.

Let’s push for #TidalPower, #RenewableEnergy, and #ClimateJustice to build a resilient, fossil-free future!
