    That is not correct. Anchoring those is a piece of cake.

    BLUEXIT
    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    So what do you have to argue against his points? Or facts? So far all I see is little witless comments.

    Correct. Note I said you needed loads of money.

    No lobby i would imagine though army corp would know the particulars if anyone was interested.
    Mainly its very costly and waterfront property doesnt come cheap

    They do not need to be on or near waterfront property. Any navigable waters will do.

    How would you do it? Remember, you need to have a place where there is a strong current to driver your machine.

    Buzzword fallacy. You have no idea what a shill is. Try English. It works much better.

    Okay. Loads of money. How much money per joule produced?

    That they will. How are you going to anchor your machine? Let's place one near Gibraltar. Tidal flow through there can get pretty wicked.

    They do it all the time. U/W cement, piers, posts etc. Some types of tidal turbines are not anchored to the seabed at all. They are off the bottom of ship. It is not all about the strength of the currents, it is all about mass of the water moving. Large mass, low velocity needed. Smaller mass, higher velocity needed.
