Tidal energy
Mo Kelly urges Friends to support tidal power
Last year at Yearly Meeting Gathering in Bath Friends were informed that Britain Yearly Meeting has ‘divested from fossil fuels’. The response of Yearly Meeting when hearing of this was delight. There was a great sense of solidarity around this decision to say ‘No’ to fossil fuels.
This year at Yearly Meeting, during a session presenting the work of Yearly Meeting trustees, the question of investment was raised: how we spend our monies and where we place our investments. I spoke briefly from the floor and recalled the decision by Friends to say ‘No’ to fossil fuels. I then invited Friends, when considering where to place their investments, to consider saying ‘Yes’ to a source of renewable energy which, although in its infancy, is gaining momentum and publicity in the UK. I refer to a source of homegrown, predictable and legacy-free energy on which Lockheed Martin, perhaps better known for its connection with the arms industry, placed a full-page full-colour advert in a national newspaper on Monday 9 March 2015.
