Renewable and Predictable
Have you ever watched the rising and falling sea level, turning a rocky shore into a swimmer’s dream? That is the natural energy of the tide.Tidal energy comes from the Earth's rotation and the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun on the world's oceans forcing the water back and forth.
The movement of the tide can be turned into electricity, for use as a source of clean, renewable energy.
What’s more, tidal power is far more predictable than wind and solar power. We can predict the movement of the tides today, tomorrow, and in 500 years from tomorrow. Predictable, and reliable.
It’s no secret that the potential of tidal energy has always been there. But never before have we imagined such an elegant technology to harness it, in such a potent testing ground as the Bay of Fundy.
Tidal energy is renewable and predictable. It may contribute significantly to the world's energy requirements.
