Tidal Energy!Hi and welcome to "Tidal Energy" page. One thing you can be sure of : "The tides never let you down" ( as wind, or sun would some times) and thats the biggest advantage of this green energy source .
There are not so many places were tides can be used to produce energy, or electricity. This is achieved in France, Canada and Russia. But there are certainly more places in the world were tidal energy can be produced in the future.
This energyIs a relatively new technology Tidal stream generators drawing energy from currents in much the same way that wind generators do.
Making electricity by the tides is an green energy form that is still in development. With the increasing demand of energy, and specially "green energy",engineers are doing research to find a solutions for this highly predictable energy form. There are prototypes of tidal power generators, and the the results are promising for the future. The pro's and the cons...The cons:
The disadvantage is that energy coming frome the tides can't follow the changing of the electrical demand. The high costs to developing tidal power plants. This energy for can be developed only on specific places with large differences between low tide and high tide. The pro's The tide are coming and going every 6 hours. This will continue as long as Earth exist. This energy form is still in his early stages of development. With the demand of new green energy forms to fight climate change, this will play a more significant role in producing energy in the future..
Thanks for your visit to our website. Feel free to re-visit to follow the up-dates on this web site..Fight climate change is an interesting subject that we will follow closely... The Webmaster.
