Tidal power

Tidal Power: Using specially designed turbines to generate power through the movement and energy of the tides. Tidal power is only viable in coastal perimeter areas where the current speeds exceed 1.2 meters per second, however most current speeds throughout the ocean do not exceed 0.1 meters per second.^[1] Viable speeds for turbine energy production occur in few spots around the world. The only areas where high current speeds are possible are areas of turbulent seas where currents are pushed through channels between land masses. Some such places are the Orkney Islands norht of Scotland, the northern coast of Australia, and the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia.
