Tidal Power

by Eric Romeo

Submitted : Fall 2010

The work it takes to fill and empty from the basin is substantial enough to produce energy worth harnessing. There are two large commercial scale tidal power sites operating presently. One in France and it helps power a city of three hundred thousand people, and another in Canada providing power for 4,500 houses. After seeing these results I’d like to research the possibility of using waterfalls as a source of energy.
