How does tidal energy generate electricity?

# data[].attributes.body
Tidal energy generates electricity through turbines that work like wind turbines. The tides rotate the turbine blades which connect to a generator that creates electricity.

How does tidal energy impact the environment?

# data[].attributes.body
Positive impacts: Tidal energy decreases the amount of emissions like greenhouse gasses such as methane and nitrous oxide. These gasses are released through fossil fuels combustion.

Negative impacts: Tidal energy damages marine life because the turbine's rotating blades lead to the death of living things.

How much of the worlds energy comes form tidal?

# data[].attributes.body
Around 1.5% of the world's electricity is from tidal energy

# data[].attributes.body
The benefits of tidal energy is that this energy is more powerful than wind because water is way more denser than air.

# data[].attributes.body
Disadvantages of tidal energy is cost construction is very high and it affects animals and plants living near the tidal stations.

What to know about this source if used in Fort Collins

# data[].attributes.body
The city of Fort Collins could not support tidal energy because it is very expensive and the bodies of water are minimal. Fort Collins can support hydro energy through rivers and reservoirs though. We can use dams to generate electricity throughout Fort Collins.

What would be easy to plan to use this energy in Fort Collins

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing would be easy about planning to put tidal energy in fort Collins, but it would be easy to put hydro power in and control it. Hydro power is also available all year long which is beneficial when planning to build a hydro powered dam.
