Tidal Power
Historically tide mills between Newhaven and Seaford. Barcombe Mills. Pells Pool. Papermill cut. Reinstate? Funds available - Colin Brent. Historical solutions most efficient?
Height of tide - how much power is there to be had? (Mike Jones). Standard house uses 3.5 to 4 thousand kWh p.a.
Tidal barrage at Newhaven.
Pelton Wheel - narrow jet directed at cups, more efficient.
Tidal stream turbines, like underwater windmills.
Problems with ecosystems? Lagoons will disrupt.
Implement through local energy group.
