What is Tidal Power
Tidal power is a form of renewable energy that harnesses the energy generated by the tides in the ocean. It is a type of hydropower that converts the energy of moving water into electricity.
Tidal power plants use turbines to capture the energy of the moving water as the tide comes in and goes out. As the tide rises and falls, water is forced through the turbines, which generate electricity.
Tidal power is considered a renewable source of energy because it relies on the natural cycles of the ocean, which are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, and do not require the burning of fossil fuels

The American Dream
Remarkably, there are still Americans who buy into the concept promoted at left. Most people have figured out that:
The greed of corporations and billionaires has usurped our lawmaking processes and made it extremely difficult for the working class to live any decent kind of life.
Rule of law is a joke in the United States.
The final days of free market capitalism are upon us, leaving the common American more depressed and desperate than in any past age.

Universal HealthCare? Don’t Hold Your Breath
As the United States continues its slide into corporatocracy and oligarchy, the concept of universal healthcare becomes ever more unlikely.
As the midterms approach, we need to brace ourselves for the onslaught of messaging from the GOP to the effect that Trump is the only force separating America from communism. This, believe it or not, is a concept warmly embraced by tens of millions of hateful idiots.
The rest of the developed world deems healthcare to be a human right, like potable water. We counter: Bull****. Corporate profitability is the supreme right here.

Do Liberals Hate America?
Yes, the MAGA crowd has a huge appetite for the type of rhetoric we see at left, but their numbers are slowing shrinking.
That said, it’s still amazing that the U.S. is home to tens of millions of idiots who believe that liberals hate our country and are trying to destroy it.
