New drive to harness WAVE power
In the turbulent waters off the shores of Orkney, in the far north of Scotland, an array of bizarre machines is being deployed in a drive to harness the power of the sea. The European Marine Energy Centre at Stromness is playing host to nearly a dozen experimental devices designed to capture the energy of the tides and the WAVEs.

Scots told 'go green for growth'
The basis for it is the fact that Scotland has more than its fair share of renewable energy resources: a quarter of all European wind energy resource, a quarter of Europe's tidal resource and one 10th of its WAVE resource.
