Tidal power needs a suitable bay or river mouth that fills up with massive amounts of water at high tide, but that only has a small exit to the sea, otherwise it is not economical. There are not many suitable locations in the US for tidal power.
France has the biggest tidal power plant on the face of the earth, unfortunately the only tidal plant in Europe. Tidal power uses energy in ocean movement (waves) to generate electricity. Tidal power, sometimes called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power. Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power. Historically, tide mills have been used, both in Europe and on the Atlantic coast of North America.
Answer:The La Rance Tidal Power Plant has been in operation since 1966 and has a capacity of 240 MW.South Korea currently (July, 2012) operates the largest tidal power plant in the world.Jiangxia Tidal Power has been in operation since 1985, but only produces 3.2 MW.SeaGen, in Northern Ireland, produces 1.2 MW.In all, there are about 8 so far which produce more than 1 MW, and numerous smaller projects in operation.
they where in power for 28 years
Q- For about how many years was china a sea power? A- For about 92 years :)
it is caused by the shocks of an earthquake and the earthquake is caused by the movements of the plates at the bottom of the earth
Nero was in power for 14 years.
The Mayans were in power for 250 years!
Tidal power is used in Scotland, U.K., Ireland Tidal power is being used in many places. It would be used in many more places but it costs lots of money to make and install the generators. Also, finding a good place with strong enough surges of tides to actually generate the tides into electrcity or other forms of energy.
The tidal wave came during the earthquake and hurrican. Many people died in Flordia. Tidal Waves come from water.
I don't know of any operating scheme in the US but these sites are supposed to be possible ones for development: Passamaquoddy Bay, Maine - Knik Arm, Alaska - Turnagain Arm, Alaska - Golden Gate, California[42] -
