It sounds expensive and structurally nigh on impossible at that scale, plus it would be an even bigger eyesore. Those are my rushed thoughts, because m'lord it too was one of the first things I thought of!

Tidal/wave power and efficiently regenerating our waste seem to be the best options in the UK in the long term. But we humanoids are a species addicted to growth. We are culturally unsustainable. I think our eventual response to the power thang will be forced by resulting problems rather than ingenious planning. Until communities (villages/towns/hamlets/cities?) begin to generate their own electricity using self-contained sustainable/clean methods, we are pissing into the ocean of an ever growing demand for an ever-diminishing resource (fossil fuels)
