Math for Revenue Calculation edit

I am having a hard time replicating your results for the revenue calculation. It seems to be off by a decimal point.

for example, cutting and pasting your formula into google results in the follwing: [1] (1,049.02087)

Excel 2008 does the same.

Introduction seems wrong edit

The introduction feels incomplete. Can somebody fix it? Mainly because the last sentence doesn't make sense and doesn't have punctuation.

Copied from Turbine (commented out so <ref> is not necessary) edit

Although situating the rotor in the throat of the duct allows the blades to be supported at their tips (thus reducing bending stress from hydrodynamic thrust) the financial impact of the large amount of steel in the duct must not be omitted from any energy cost calculations.

Struck "There is no evidence that shrouded turbines..." as the general body of that content is confusing and not cited. See Talk. edit

The content of the line was confusing at best. It compared two different types of technology (Shrouded Turbine with Open Turbine) and gave no empirical evidence to substantiate the claims made. Furthermore the lack of citation and clarity- coupled with the content being identified as a "disadvantage"- caused the article to end at a point of confusion. Removing the extraneous content finishes the article and does not cause any loss of information in general. I'd recommend if someone with the expertise wants to compare Open Tidal Turbines to Closed Tidal Turbines and their comparative impact for fish strikes they develop that as an entirely different section. The content is interesting and topical.
