Interesting problem seeing as Google owns both

I HAVE both Chrome and FireFox loaded on this tablet and PCs here;
So when one starts playing up regularly, I will switch back to the other for a while..


AS FOR YouTube, they're advertising upgrades to 'Youtube Red' every second time one logs onto their site..
Maybe they're more busy pushing a premium for-pay upgrade subscription, and paying less attention to maintenace and debugging of the regular service  ?

THIS TECHNOLOGY isn't exactly new...

Tidal/Wave generated power has been around for years..

That video is obviously an advertising/promotion effort from the company wanting to sell it further into European markets.
NOTE the corporate logo front-and-centre on that power station..


THERE ARE always several factors to be considered in deciding which power source (e.g.  solar, wind, tidal, hydro', geo-thermal, gas-fired turbines, diesel or petrol generators -- and yes, even nuclear or coal-fired power stations !).

INCLUDING the availabilty of alternative power sources,  possible environmental and community damages, allocation of resources, the cost of installing the various alternatives, storage of power, "base load" supply, and the overall lifetime costs of using each alternative -- or a mixture of 3 or 4 different potential sources..
