The others from your link are absurd
Ocean / tidal is incredibly inefficient and expensive. That's why nobody is doing it.
Biomass is no different from fossil fuel only less efficient.
Hydrogen is only possible with masses of cheap electricity to make the hydrogen to begin with and that requires nuclear.
Proving once again how ill informed, and ignorant, any right winger is. Have you ever heard of INNOVATION? If left to flat earth types like you (luddites all) we would still be using horses, and buggies. Fortunately though we have had a history of free thinkers willing to take a gamble on an idea. Free thinkers like Edison, Tesla, Marconi, and the list goes on, and on. So now we have thorium being used to replace uranium, hardened timber to replace steel and concrete, bigger generators, more powerful wind turbines that use less wind flow, and again the list goes on. Oh yes, biomass is being used to electrify small towns.
Times are changing, and fools like you will be left wondering in amazement at the changes made.
"2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"
