Wave goodbye

With the sad news that the Pelamis wave energy development company have called in the receivers, it serves as a further reminder that wave power and other forms of renewable energy are still many years away and should not be relied on as a future source of energy – and certainly not part of any energy strategy.

This completely supports the argument for fracking as the way ahead as a proven reliable technology which will allow the UK to follow the US and reap the benefits in a return to energy self-
sufficiency.
