Tidal-Energy

What is Tidal Energy?
Tidal energy is one of the oldest forms of energy used by humans. It is created by the motion of the earth, moon, and sun and the gravitational movements between them. In order for tidal energy to be used, differences between high and low tides must be at a measurement of 16 feet.

Advantages of Tidal Energy

 * It is renewable
 * The energy released is non polluting
 * Reduces reliance on the burning of fossil fuels
 * It doesn't need fuel
 * The tides are very predictable

Disadvantages of Tidal Energy

 * Expensive to construct
 * Power is generated when there is little demand for it
 * Limited construction locations
 * Effects marine life during construction
