Iceland's volcanoes could power the UK: but at what cost?

Comment

Good Idea but please anyone can put figures on the following questions: 1. What would be the % loses of power to convert from AC to DC at the power stations in Iceland and convert back to AC from DC in the UK ? 2. Dose anyone has calculation of how much energy we can produce by harnessing tidal energy correctly ? I suspect that tidal energy can satisfy all the energy demands, electrical energy and all transport energy including private car use and haulage lorries.
