Fantastic, recently I've been really wondering why this kind of thing wasn't looked at more - it seemed to me it'd be a lot more consistent than using wind turbines or solar energy.

The idea looks excellent - obviously not 100% on the environmental impact (and I wonder if we really can get a good idea until some years after it's finished) but surely it's much better than coal & nuclear options?
