I was in the UK and passed through a large wind farm - the amount of noise was something I did not expect. Offshore is a way of avoiding this problem.

Diversifying the energy is always a smart investment, we've seen in the recent past the challenges of over dependency on a single fuel type during both summer and winter periods.

Tidal power is one that is often overlooked, we got plenty of tidal areas that could be utilised.

There are some tidal power plants already operating in Europe I think

I greatly oppose onshore wind farms, they kill so many eagles yet the greenies say the turbines are better than the other options when they kill the eagles that are 1- protected in Australia, and 2- 8000 eagles alone, not counting other sea birds, die to wind turbine every year.

They will make the offshore wind farms a no boating area so if you fish offshore a large area will be locked up.
