We don't need super-solutions/magic bullets for electric generation. Tidal could fill in where its best suited, such as Newfoundland. Imagine if we had: 20% N

We don't need super-solutions/magic bullets for electric generation. Tidal could fill in where its best suited, such as Newfoundland. Imagine if we had:
20% Nuclear (been this for decades)
25% Natural Gas (27% now)
23% Wind (4% now)
22% Solar (1/2% now)
5% Tidal (none now)
5% Hydro (6%-7% for decades)
and no coal at all. (35%-50% for decades)
- monk_e_boy 11y agoWe kitesurf in a river mouth, the river is tidal. Behind the beach are a couple of pools that are huge, these get filled and emptied by the tide twice a day. The volume of water that slooshes out is amazing. Staggering. We love to kite there cos we convert the energy into speed.
- Abraln 11y agoI am personally excited about tidal as it is almost completely predictable. The wind may die down and clouds may block the sun, but the tide always comes in on schedule.
