Can OSPREY rise up from its watery grave?
Article Abstract:
Developers of the world's first commercial wave power-plant intend to build a second Swell Powered Renewable Energy (OSPREY) plant to the same design as its predecessor by the summer of 1996. The original OSPREY sank on August 2, 1995 in the rough seas off the Northern coast of Scotland. Private sponsors of the programme have declared their full support for the new project, which cost two million pounds, but the European Community's Joule programme has shown some reservations about funding the new project.

Wellcome wages battle to house companies next to genome labs
Article Abstract:
Wellcome Trust of Britain is proposing a commercial extension to its Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridgeshre, to provide space for small biotechnology companies involved in genome sequencing. However the local authority is opposed to the extension, claiming that there is already space for companies on the many science parks in the district, and that the development would be in contravention of guidelines on the use of agricultural land and transport policy.
