We need to live in the real world: a zero fossil fuel economy is not possible in Guersney, as it would require people to stop heating their houses and stop driving. I am all in favour of developing tidal/wind/wave/solar energy, but none of these will keep homes warm and cars on the road unless we all make big sacrifices (that includes NIMBYs). As for the deep water berth, this is a red herring. the reason why the private companies are in favour is that the States currently own the "flat-bottomed" tankers that can offload at low tide sitting on the sea bed (their own little monopoly). Commercial tankers are no longer built like that and need that deep water berth. For the cost of the project, the States would be better off designing and building new flat bottomed tankers and that would maintain the island fuel security for the time being, while we can actually have an energy strategy that is not only a big cable from France, a few more tankers and fossil fuel burning generators.
