Electricity is the blood that runs in the veins of every economy to keep it moving. Drain a country of its electricity, then you have a dead country, a receeding economy and a bunch of people at rest. This is why many third-world countries today continue to take one step forward and three backwards - they're drained!<br> <br> <br> Recently, Scotland a country of just over 6 million people with currently installed power generation capacity of over 10GW announced its first large-scale tidal energy farm, as part of a project aimed at generating enough electricity to power 175,000 homes in the country. The first of the turbines was unveiled in a ceremony last weekend, and will be positioned in the waters off the north coast of Scotland.<br> The turbine itself weighs in at over 200 tons, and is nearly 50 feet tall with blades equally as large. One turbine can produce up to 1.5 megawatts of power, and when the project is completed, 269 of these behemoths will harness the power of the waves to produce nearly 400 megawatts of power. Some clean energy experts even say Scotland has as much as a quarter of the EU’s potential wind and tidal energy.<br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br>
