Well, they carry SO MUCH force with them that it's impossible to harness the energy they carry as actual fuel for electricity. So much force, in fact, that it may be impossible, even with increasing technology.

How does tidal energy produce heat and eletricity?
tidal electricity is simply a turbine that runs underwater and when it turns with the ebb tide it creates electricity. Then it carries the electricity through pipes back to land
How are tidal waves used to generate electricity for the power grid?
Tidal waves are not used to generate electricity. A tidal wave is a huge wave, rather like a tsunami, that occurs very infrequently, and without warning.Tides are harnessed to produce electricity, and also waves are used, but not tidal waves.
What are some examples of tidal energy being used?
tidal energy is used to turn turbines which drive generators to produce electricity
What are the disadvantages of fossil fuel to produce electricity?
Its a limited resource.
Is electricity an inexhaustable resource?
Electricity is not really a resource. Electrons are not used up in an electrical appliance, they simply lose charge (which is given to them by a generator). The ways in which electricity are produced can be exhaustible, such as coal, oil and gas power plants, or inexhaustible, such as wind solar and tidal energy.
What resource is directly being used to produce electricity by wind?
wind mills
How much electricity does tidal power produce?
Impossible to give a realistic answer as it depends on your supplier, country of domicile etc
Tidal power how the energy source is turned into usable energy?
Large underwater turbines are placed in areas where tidal forces are high. Here they capture the energy produced by tidal motions to turn generators and produce electricity.
Is tidal energy clean?
Yes, tidal energy is clean. It is also a renewable resource.
Which type of renewable or inexhasable resource do you thingk would work well in your area?
Electricity generators driven by tidal-flow turbines. (I live on the South coast of England.)
Do tidal tur bines have to be in special place?
These large underwater turbines are placed in areas with high tidal movements, and are designed to capture the kinetic motion of the ebbing and surging of ocean tides in order to produce electricity.
Is tidal electricity efficient?
yes
