AbuBakr Bahaj, in charge of the Southampton research, said: The prospects for energy from tidal currents are far better than from wind because the flows of water are predictable and constant.

负责南安普顿研究的 AbuBakr Bahaj 说：潮汐流的能源前景比风能要好得多，因为水流是可预测和恒定的。

Compared to wind and solar energy, tidal generation has the advantage of predictability.

和风能和太阳能相比，潮汐发电的优点在于它的可预测性。

But tidal streams are far more predictable than wind, which means utilities using tidal don't have to worry about unexpected still days.

但是潮汐流远比风容易预测，这意味着公共事业公司利用潮汐时不必担心意外的无风天。

"If we had a clean energy economy powered by wind and solar and tidal power we probably would not be here having this discussion today."

We need to move on." McCoy believes the best way to get more solar,wind and tidal power on the grid is to offer renewable energy generators a government guarantee.

The Renewable Energy Commission has also been looking at the potential for offshore tidal and wind power, which Deputy Duhamel said could play a significant role in improving the island's energy security in the future.
