One of my biggest Abundance Investments is in the Orkney Tidal generation schemes. If it can't be made to work there, it won't really ever work is my theory.

The Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon seemed like a good idea a few years back when interest rates were super cheap as it just needed lots of civils to be built and that was it (grosss simplification) but unlikely to get built now that money isn't as free as it used to be

Was a 10% fixed rate of return on that debenture, so pretty good
