Nice to know that all that money I've spent on Laphroaig over the years is being put to good use.

I definitely think that traditional single-malts produced with renewable tidal power is a better marketing angle than traditional single-malts produced with nuclear power.

How long until stories about the potential for danger from harnessing tidal power. Not serious problems such as coastal development impacting with the ecology on the coast. But far fetched worries such as how harnessing the ocean's power will result in global changes to the temperature of the ocean or dramatically affect plate tectonics by reducing currents.

New technologies always have a news cycle that goes from celebratory to fear-mongering within a matter of weeks.

Funny, I never heard of this island until yesterday evening when somebody was talking about all the whiskey made there.
