Mr. Harvey Appelbe:

The US has been trying to get this together, but has not really done so. We keep mentioning Scotland because they really have given their political backing to this, and it has paid off for them. It is all new. It is all about research and development. There are no commercial projects anywhere on the globe. Nobody has cracked this technology yet. The French are beginning to organise themselves to attempt to take the lead away from Scotland and from the UK. Both of those countries lack Ireland's wave resource. If we can organise ourselves, we can become the default location. If any project is done economically, I believe that it will be more economic here because the wave resource is that much better. As long as we are prepared to attract the business in here, it should always be to our advantage because of our rich resources.
