What Mako have been able to demonstrate that there is also energy which can be captured from currents. Dr Poon’s explanation of his work in the area and the global efforts made me read more. Perhaps the ocean and tide power was the next big things that Projects RH (see: www.projectsrh.com.au ) in Australia and Tabatinga (see www.tabatingasg.com.au ) in Asia an
