Solar power is all well and good when you live in the sun, unfortunately, if we want renewable energy in the UK we have to harness the power of the wind, the waves and the currents :/

How are you harvesting it from the waves and currents?
For currents, it's easy, it's basically a windfarm in the sea - dams use currents as well. Waves can make power through buoys that rise and fall, creating pressurized water that pumps through an inland turbine.
Very cool!
