What loses energy when you use tidal power plants?
The rotation of the planets slows through the use of tidal power.
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.
Where is tidal energy used in the US?
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.
Can you use tidal power in everyday life?
Tidal power produces electricity, the same electricity that you use in everyday life. Some countries are planning systems that will use the tides as a source of renewable energy. That is an extremely good idea.
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.
How bad is it for the United States for using so much energy?
It is not bad for US to use energy rather its more important to advocate renewable energy e.g. wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, etc energies
How does the US use tidal energy?
It doesn"t provide anything
Energy produced by the rise and fall of ocean levels is an?
Energy produced by the rise and fall of ocean levels is tidal energy. Tidal energy is a renewable source of energy that scientists have found ways to use for energy supply required around the world.
Why do some environmental groups oppose tidal energy?
Environmental groups do not necessarily oppose use of tidal energy, but in some cases they oppose the location that is proposed to make use of the energy. The opposition is usually based on negative effects it would have on wildlife and the environment.
