The Fins are Storring energy as heat in sand batteries and there's a liquid air battery facility being built near Manchester as well as deployment of Tesla's MegaPack technology, we should be investing in tidal for base load.

@brendanpells912 Tidal doesn't mean masses of concrete you can use slow turn wind turbine like propellers. Look up Orkney Tidal System and check this out its another propeller based system Nova Welcomes Grantham Institute Report Nova welcomed a ground-breaking new report that urges the UK Government to take a global lead and put tidal stream energy front and centre of our drive to become a net zero economy by 2045.

@brendanpells912 I'm more a small scale devolved mesh network person myself. We have the smart technology to do it. Blade tidal systems are available. I've a thermal store at home a high capacity heavily insulated water tank connected to thermal solar.

@brendanpells912 The answer to the renewable problem isn't one big thing it's a diverse range of technologies and solutions. Solar thermal works well with heat pumps reducing the energy needed to heat up the water for a wet system. The tanks loose around 2 degrees a day if left unused.
