  • the Swedish company SKF announced that its bearings and seals on one of the turbines had passed the 6 1/2-year mark without needing unplanned or disruptive maintenance.

    I’ve read many optimistic articles detailing tidal energy projects, however they seldom address the inherent upkeep costs for equipment and infrastructure.

    I’m glad maintenance is mentioned here, but I worry that it glosses over that only one out of the four turbines passed the six year mark without needing disruptive repair. How disruptive was the other turbine maintenance? Does it push it beyond viable profitability?

    I genuinely do hope for the technology to mature and introduce more clean energy alternatives.

    I’m not very inclined to take at face value what a studio founder has to say about a service that might make them less money, and might save their customers money.

    Nobody is forcing studios or publishers at gunpoint to release on a subscription service.
