Question

At the present time, generating energy from the tides does not make a significant contribution to UK energy supplies.

Write a paper, in no more than 1 000 words, presenting arguments in favour of sustained UK government investment over the next two decades in this source of energy.

You should include an introduction, a conclusion and an assessment of the extent of the UK tidal energy resource.

Provide citations and associated references using the OU Harvard guide:

Please provide a word count. The word count limit of 1 000 is exactly that. There is no unofficial +10% allowance. Answers over 1 000 words will be penalised by deducting 4 marks for 1 001–1 100 words and 8 marks for 1 101+ words.

Papers shorter than this will not be penalised, but it is unlikely that you will be able to give a sufficiently complete answer in less than 800 words.

Table 4 provides a guide to the allocation of marks.
