Tidal energy is environmentally friendly and does not emit any greenhouse gases.

The tides are a reliable source of energy and effective at low speeds, but the drawbacks of it is that it is location dependent and because it is a new technology we don't know the environmental impacts tidal turbines will have.

# data[].attributes.body
Tidal electricity is produced when the oceans kinetic tidal movement is captured by tidal energy generators.

Wave turbines can be placed up to 240 feet under water.

- Cobscook Bay, Maine is the first tidal energy site in the United States.
- The average tidal range for Cobscook Bay are around 24 to 28 feet and have strong currents, perfect for wave turbines.
- The Cobscook Bay Project has provided over 100 jobs to local residents and has added millions of dollars to the economy.

The costs for making tidal turbines are more expensive than wind turbines, but tidal turbines produce more energy and is more consistent than wind.
