Bristol Channel and Kepler want to do a king Kanute, NOT!

Interesting! Being something of a sailor, (a qualified yacht day skipper) after Canada with the Bay of Fundy, the Bristol channel has the 2nd highest tidal range in the world at 12M. Engineering for and exploiting neaps and springs MHWN & MHWS would be pretty cool for the UK and the planet. Once again these benefits like solar and photosynthesis ie sustenance for all life in general, we have the sun AND the moon to thank for this tidal power. Lets use it, so long as we don't adversely effect ecosystems, and I don't mean the annual Severn-Bore surfers, although the great Tsunami of 1607 does come to mind as well!
