The benefits of Tidal power begins with it as a renewable resource. Gravitational fields and natural earth and astronomical occurrences will continue to create tides Since it is not dependent on fossil fuels, Tidal power is green and does not appear to cause damage to the environment. Tides are also highly predictable. On the negative side, no studies have been completed to definitively prove that Tidal power is not environmentally damaging. Plants will need to be constructed close to land and it is expensive. Hydroelectric power, like Tidal power is renewable, flexible and safe. However, it poses risks to the environment such as damage to fish. It is also expensive and could be adversely affected by environmental factors such as drought. There are also a limited number of needed reservoirs available.
