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

If you’re a competent woman working at the highest echelon in the U.S. government, better start packing your bags.
Today we had another “assassination attempt.”
Is it the fourth or the fifth? I lost track after his ear grew back.
Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.
Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.
How Much Further Does the Trust of the American People Extend?
I’ve often wondered why people like this German woman, an ultra-right-wing politician with no more training in this subject than my gardener, is taken more seriously than the many thousands of scientists who have been studying climate physics for all their adult lives.
And Germany? Anti-science?
Yes, this sect is minor, but how does it exist at all?
