The dance seems connected to the little Ib-Ubs, tiny four-legged creatures who begin erecting small towers on the floor using the bricks that shoot out of their snout. Thus ensconced in his living-room kingdom, King Shrimpy-Ub demands a Mt. Fuji on his head (with gift shop) and it is done.

And so later this year a small South Wales company called Tidal Hydraulic Generators (THG) plans to lower a steel frame supporting five 6-m diameter turbines to the floor of the Severn Estuary. The tubes will translate the power of the tide as it ebbs and flows into one megawatt of electricity, enough to power about 500 homes. The project will be a test run for much larger rigs, with up to 50 turbines apiece, that could produce enough electricity...
