Was Is Tidal Power?

Tidal energy is a renewable energy powered by the natural rise and fall of ocean tides and currents. Some of these technologies include turbines and paddles. Tidal energy is produced by the surge of ocean waters during the rise and fall of tides.

What is bad about tidal power?

Tidal power can damage marine life, as tidal turbines with their rotating blades may lead to deaths of living creatures in a sea. Noise from the rotation of the turbines may also impact fish habitations in tidal power locations. Tidal energy can also impact the quality of water and sediment processes.

What is tidal power used for?

We can use tidal energy to supply electricity to our homes and businesses. We can use tidal energy in some places instead of burning coal and oil that contribute to global warming. Tidal generators (or turbines) work like wind turbines, except it is ocean currents, not wind, that turns them.
