Wave and tidal power could replace the electricity that is currently produced by UK nuclear power stations, they state, and could prevent the need for Britain to rely on increased Russian gas imports.
Article continues Harnessing the sea, particularly around Cornwall and the north of Scotland, with machines that capture the movement of tides and waves, has long been a dream of scientists.

Innovative concepts and technologies will integrate sea, land, air, space, and cyberspace to a greater extent than ever before.
