    From the comments below the article:
    Hurray for Scotland doing something worthwhile. This is better than the X Prize.
    More useful in the immediate future than the X-prize? Probably.

    (says the extremely biased aero-engineer )

    Very interesting concept though. Should do a bit to help combat erosion, as the systems would be extracting some energy from the waves that they could no longer let loose on the shore.

    That sounds pretty neat. I hope it works out well for them and in turn for others as well.

    Good idea, however that is a picture of Diamondhead and Waikiki Beach, Hawaii in the article. How funny.

    Even ideas such as this will draw detractors and opponents for one reason or another.

    The effect on the view or on wildlife or whatever...
