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.
Tidal energy is stored by converting it into electricity through tidal power plants. This electricity can be used immediately or stored in batteries for future use. Tidal energy can also be used to generate hydrogen through electrolysis, which can be stored and used as a fuel source.
Tidal energy can be used to generate electricity through tidal stream systems, which harness the kinetic energy of moving water, or through tidal barrage systems, which use the potential energy of changing water levels to turn turbines and generate power.
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.
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.
No, tidal energy would not be suitable in Kansas as it is a landlocked state without access to oceans or tidal currents required for generating tidal energy.
I think it is kinetic energy
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.
no they do not :/
Tidal energy has been used in the past to run mills, but now the main way to use it is to generate electricity.
It has to be on a hill.

Yes. There are three Barrage systems of tidal energy operating throughout the world.One of these is in the Bay of Fundy in Canada.
Tidal energy can be used to generate electricity through tidal stream systems, which harness the kinetic energy of moving water, or through tidal barrage systems, which use the potential energy of changing water levels to turn turbines and generate power.
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.
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.
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power
tidal energy is be placed in the sea
