Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And early cars were crap and expensive and 'would never catch on' and if only Mr Ford spent his time instead on breeding a better horse. Zzzzzzzz.

The tide always happens. As we are an island, one might assume that this vastly untapped resource will complement the green technologies furthermore.
Mr Garnet, photovoltaic cells are much, much more effective than you give credit for.

They did have a wind turbine up there for a few years, got taken down after developing a fault that was too expensive to repair I believe.

I noticed while walking down Alfred Road earlier that parked cars currently take up about half the width of the pavements on both sides, which makes walking a bit of a squeeze. But electric cars will need to be parked even closer to the houses to accommodate the cables. No problem: pedestrians will have more space to walk in the road. Win win.
