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

It’s possible that Americans are so angry that the Trump administration has ruined their country and its democracy that paid advertising for Republican candidates is having no effect on them.
We can only hope.
Obviously, the endorsement of a much-despised president didn’t help, but what chance did this election-denying moron actually have in a sophisticated state like Minnesota?
One good thing about having Trump in the White House is that doesn’t have enough sense to hide what a terrible person he is.
We all recall the COVID-19 outbreak, and Trump’s suggestion that we reduce our testing for the disease on the basis that less testing means fewer positive results, which means less outrage on the level of Trump’s ineptitude in handling the epidemic.
