Think of the possibility and now the incentive for a small non-nuclear nation eschewing the quick fix beneath its feet to go fully renewable... With the island of Ireland's sea-lochs and deeply incised coasts it has significant potential for tidal energy and their Atlantic coast has huge wind and wave potential plus two 500MW HVDC links in place across the Irish Sea already.
