There are no tidal power stations in England yet (there's only one in Europe, and that's in France, at the mouth of the Rance River).
The Severn Estuary is the third most suitable place in the world for tidal power and there is a project under way to develop it. The tidal range is 14 meters, very appropriate. The river is 10 miles across at the best point, so a barrage/bridge would be built across, costing more than twenty billion British pounds (US$30 billion). This would also act as a bridge from England to Wales and should last for 200 years. It would be the biggest renewable energy station in the world, if built.

What loses energy when you use tidal power plants?
The rotation of the planets slows through the use of tidal power.
What type of resources can tidal energy be put?
Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity. Tidal energy is a renewable energy source.
How do utility companies that use tidal power provide energy when their customers need it?
Utility companies that use tidal energy would also use other ways of generating power, because tidal energy can only be collected when tides come in or out, that is, usually four times a day. Most utility companies would have access to the national grid and feed their tidal power into it. They would be able to draw on power from other sources when the tide was quiet.
Why is tidal energy inexhaustible?
Tidal energy is an nonpolluting inexhaustible energy source. However, its use is limited because it needs a large bay or estuary with a narrow outlet to the sea where there is fast moving water. There are not many suitable locations around the world for tidal power technology as it exists today.
Why is tidal wave power energy good?
some advantages of tidal energy are, continuous, predictable energy. Another benefit of tidal power is that it is predictable. The gravitational forces of celestial bodies are not going to stop anytime soon.
What type of energy does tidal energy use?
I think it is kinetic energy
Is tidal energy harmful to the earth?
Tidal energy is natural and is not harmful to the Earth. Scientists are currently studying ways to make use of tidal energy because of its many benefits.
Does trinidad and tobago use tidal energy?
no they do not :/
In what ways can you use tidal energy?
Tidal energy has been used in the past to run mills, but now the main way to use it is to generate electricity.
How does tidal fuel work?
Wave or tidal energy is a great, environmentally friendly means of generating energy. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power tidal energy is the best energy to use BUT there are a lot of con's to this source also so if you use this be generate of it.
What loses energy when you use tidal power plants?
The rotation of the planets slows through the use of tidal power.
What Requirements to be able to use tidal energy?
It has to be on a hill.
Is there use of tidal energy in Canada?
Yes. There are three Barrage systems of tidal energy operating throughout the world.One of these is in the Bay of Fundy in Canada.
What is the history of tidal energy?
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power
Where does tidal energy be placed?
tidal energy is be placed in the sea
Good things about tidal?
The Good thing about tidal energy is that is a very clean for of energy. Tidal energy is also renewable. Tidal energy plants could be place along the coast.
How does the US use tidal energy?
It doesn"t provide anything
