Scotland has a large share of the EU’s not-as-yet captured wind, hydro, and tidal energy. Edinborough was the birthplace of Marine Current Turbines, MCT,

which develops turbines driven by tides and ocean currents. While it may seem counter-intuitive, Solar Hot Water heating works well despite the cloud cover. The Scottish Community and Householders Renewable Initiative, SCHRI, offers grants of up to 30% for installation of solar hot water heating systems.
