Surfers Say No to Green Energy Project

Surfers have a reputation for being an environmentally friendly bunch. Until their personal lifestyles are affected that is. British surfers are complaining about the new wave energy project, which, while it's nice clean energy, might also impact their lovely waves.

If it stops a complete industry -- jobs, peoples' lives -- then it's livelihoods versus going green,'' says Mick Warren, a surfer and manager of the Watering Hole, a bar on Perran Beach. ``I'm probably a bit selfish. I want my waves.''

I empathize completely. If it impacts peoples' jobs and lives, yeah - then it's gonna be a problem for some people.
