Can anyone elaborate on the possibly clean alternative not mentioned in the: Tidal Power
I know the work has still to be done by something so it will affect something else somehow, but what is it?
The speed of the moon?

- sidhuko 8y agoNot efficient enough to compete at scale with wind or solar.
- Qworg 8y agoMost tidal systems are "trap and release" style (barrages) - you wait until high tide, trap the water, then run the differential through a turbine. This kills a ton of sea life. Tidal Kinetic systems suffer from bursty power output. Other systems are too expensive, too early, or both.
