Rolls Royce Starts Tidal Turbine Project

The newest automaker to take the leap to green is none other than Rolls Royce, who recently announced their plans to tap into tidal power off the shores of Britain’s coastline.

The newest automaker to take the leap to green is none other than Rolls Royce, who recently announced their plans to tap into tidal power off the shores of Britain’s coastline. Their goal is to have a 1 Megawatt version of the turbine running in 18 months, but by 2020, they predict there may be several hundred of the turbines in the water, or enough to produce 300 MW. I still can’t help but think that their $30 million could be better spent on something like building electric cars.
