A tidal turbine was set to test in the around the island of Eday in Scotland, in December, and now with the results from its generation, we can see that it has performed very well. It even generated power for local residents and businesses. The test turbine was the HS1000 [Hammerfest Strom], it is 100ft high 1MW, and after the success of this they plan to build a 10MW turbine to be in the Sound of Islay. meow. The choice to test in Scotland was easy since it is home to the strongest tides in all of Europe. And since it was tested during terrible weather conditions, it worked well for the tidal power. They hope to install fully functioning tidal turbines by around 2013-2015. This production of electricity may be a good temporary solution to our problems with oil. Not to mention it's just more environmentally friendly in of itself.
