Compared to other benign technologies such as wave, wind, solar and hydro-power, the exploitation of tidal resources is the only predictable source of renewable energy. Tidal streams are created by the constantly changing gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the world's oceans. This drawing of water creates currents that are guaranteed.
Most importantly, Tidal Energy is also environmentally acceptable as:
- Tidal power is freely available, you only need to build and deploy the device to capture it
- During operation it produces no greenhouse gases or other waste
- It needs no fuel
