  1. Tidal Energy

  2. What is Tidal Energy? • Tidal energy refers to a form of power that converts the efficiency of tides into useful forms of dynamism. It is generated by the surge of oceanic rise and fall of tides. This type of energy is renewable and that is one of the biggest advantage it has (Ask.com 2014).

  3. What are Undersea Turbines? They are essentially windmills installed onto an ocean floor or river bed. The underwater current produced by the tides spins blades arranged like an airplane propeller. These turbines are attached to a gear box, which is connected to an electrical generator. This produces the electricity that is carried by cable to shore (Clark 2008).
