Is there a map? When people talk about wind energy at present they talk about putting it out to sea. They want to get rid of the masts from the land and put them out in the sea. Masts can work anywhere, unlike a wave or tidal energy device. If one were staking a claim on part of the ocean as the best place for tidal or wind energy, would one make a map of Ireland and the ocean? Is that done?
