I don't know whether anyone from the Groat looks at this forum, but here's a quote from the relevant article:
The £10 million Saltire Prize offered by the Scottish Government will be won by the team that achieves the greatest volume of electrical output in Scottish waters above a minimum 100 gigawatts an hour over a continuous two-year period, using only the power of the sea.
The expression "100 gigawatts an hour" is meaningless, and it makes the Groat look stupid.
The Groat should say (something like):
The £10 million Saltire Prize offered by the Scottish Government will be won by the team that achieves the greatest volume of electrical output in Scottish waters above a minimum of 100 Gigawatt-hours over a continuous two-year period, using only the power of the sea.
In other words, the prize goes to the company that produces the most electrical output over a two year period, with a minimum total output of 100GWh produced over the two-year period. That amounts to an average output of about 5.7MW - which is surely possible real soon now. :cool:
