I write about nuclear, energy and the environment But there are other types of hydropower that harness marine currents, tidal energy and wave energy, also referred to as marine current energy.

People have been harnessing tidal energy for milling grain for more than 1,000 years. As you’d imagine though, today’s contraptions for tapping this 24/7 power source are a little more ...

Lately, however, buoyed by successful demonstration projects and a new interest in renewable energy bolstered even further by Europe’s anticipated turning off of Russian taps, tidal energy is ...

it'll get better." Tidal energy is an attractive resource in part because of its reliability. Unlike other renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, it's predictable even years in advance ...

In fact, waves are just what the proponents of tidal wave energy look to harness. One of the companies doing this work is Littoral Power Systems (LPS), Inc. based in New Bedford. Along with its ...

The narrow channels and strong currents of the Salish Sea could provide an ideal testing ground for tidal energy. It is a promising technology. Unlike solar and wind, tides are consistent and ...

The world's first turbine to create commercial amounts of electricity from tidal energy is to be installed in Northern Ireland. Marine Current Turbines (MCT) said the installation of its SeaGen ...
