EDINBURGH, Scotland, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- The Scottish government said it was putting funding forward to help develop what it says may be the first large-scale tidal power operation in the world.
Scotland is putting forward about $30 million in funding to support the development of a tidal power project it estimates may generate about $360 million for the national economy. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon visited the project Monday and the turbines planned for the 398-megawatt project.
