I WAS delighted to read the letter ‘Double tides could provide our energy’ (Letters, May 15).

I hope the Bournemouth councillors discover as much as possible about tidal energy and find a company willing to take on a contract. I am delighted too that yachtsmen do not like the idea of wind turbines either.

Sailing through them would be like being forced to take part in an unwanted obstacle race and yachts caught in a storm would face the very real possibility of being smashed against the turbines. The same would apply to seabirds trying to fly through such a dangerous area.
