What type of land feature makes the use of tidal power reasonable?
An inlet or bay with a narrow opening and a large tidal range is ideal for generating tidal power. A tidal range of at least 5 meters is typically needed to make tidal power extraction feasible.
Does Australia use tidal power?
Australia has the potential for tidal power generation, but currently, there are no operational tidal power plants in the country. Research and pilot projects have been carried out to explore the potential of tidal energy as a renewable energy source in Australia, but commercial-scale deployment is still in the early stages.
How do you use water as an energy source?

How would one use Tidal power to keep from having an electric bill?
Tidal power is a renewable energy source used to generate heat and electricity for your home. Using tidal power means you cut down on the costs that gasoline and the power company charge.
Which state has the longest coastline on Atlantic Ocean?
The answer depends on which method you use to determine the coastline. If you use the general coastline method, then Florida has the longest coastline on the Atlantic Ocean with 580 miles. North Carolina is second with 301 miles of general coastline. Maine is third with 228 miles of general coastline. If you use the tidal coastline method, then Maine has the longest coastline on the Atlantic Ocean with 3,478 miles. North Carolina is second with 3,375 miles of tidal coastline and Florida is third with 3,331 miles of tidal coastline.
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.
How many people use Tidal energy?
I don't know of any operating scheme in the US but these sites are supposed to be possible ones for development: Passamaquoddy Bay, Maine - Knik Arm, Alaska - Turnagain Arm, Alaska - Golden Gate, California[42] -
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.
Is tidal power practical to use everywhere?
No, tidal power needs a large bay or river mouth with a narrow outlet to the sea, so the movement of water there is fast and strong.
What is the procedure of tidal power?
Tidal power is generated by harnessing the energy from the rise and fall of tides. This is typically done using tidal turbines, which look similar to underwater wind turbines. As the tides flow in and out, the turbines spin and generate electricity. The power generated is then transmitted to the grid for use.
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.
How much tidal power energy could the US use?
Tidal power needs a suitable bay or river mouth that fills up with massive amounts of water at high tide, but that only has a small exit to the sea, otherwise it is not economical. There are not many suitable locations in the US for tidal power.
