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

Not sure about this.
A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.
This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.
The Chinese ownership of American farmland is less than 0.00036, or 0.036%. To put this into perspective, if the entirety of U.S. farmland were reduced to one acre, the Chinese government and business interests would own less than 15 square feet, about half the size of a small broom closet.
Yet, true to form, this is a huge issue for the MAGA base.
This guy is quite effective in talking to uneducated, conservative Americans, most of whom have never traveled to, or even read anything about the happiest countries on Earth.
If I were going to make a statement about the relationship between social justice and despotism, I would at least consider the lives of the people in places that consider social justice to be something of importance, and compare/contrast this to the list of the countries that are perennially at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.
What makes the people in New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, Northern Europe, etc., so happy? Why do these are these nations suffer exactly zero despotism?
I would be completely ashamed of myself if I were to forward a political theory that had precisely no basis in fact.
