Green energy from solar and wind is not a guaranteed source of constant energy and is totally reliant on the weather conditions
Tidal stream will provide a constant source of energy and the new floating Tidal Stream units look very promising .
If floating Tidal Stream units were installed in every fast flowing tidal estuary around the UK, this country could easily become energy self sufficient particularly if each group of units was connected to onshore power stations able to produce hydrogen by electrolysis of water .
The hydrogen could be transported and distributed locally, thereby avoiding the electrical energy having to be connected to and distributed by the National Grid which is one of current problems with tidal power.

The losses in manufacturing & using Hydrogen are substantial; Hydrogen is inherently dangerous to use & transport plus has many disadvantageous properties that are easily forgotten.

Electrification has already won on transportation & heating, so how long can this white elephant drag on?
