First of all, it's reliable. Tidal energy is reliable because of the change in tidal movements that happens twice a day. It's also renewable and environmentally friendly. Tidal energy produces no greenhouse gases or waste. It's very efficient and fast as well. As for disadvantages, there are many. Tidal energy isn't easy to come by, and there is a lack of supply for demand. It also costs a lot of money. Although it's good for the environment in some ways, tidal energy and the creation of it affects marine life and causes corrosion.]]> 2023-06-01 14:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/362804841/pojd43ooces7ttk3/wish/2611897271 362804841 https://padlet.com/362804841/pojd43ooces7ttk3/wish/2616059318 When tidal currents with sufficent energy for harvesting occur, the tidal generator (a spinning turbine) is connected to another device that produces electricity. That electricity then travels through wires to wherever it's needed. ]]> 2023-06-06 16:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/362804841/pojd43ooces7ttk3/wish/2616059318 362804841 https://padlet.com/362804841/pojd43ooces7ttk3/wish/2616063579 Tidal energy is mostly commonly used for supplying energy to homes and businesses. It's used instead of burning coal or oil as well. Tidal energy is also very commonly used for pumping water and water desalination.]]> 2023-06-06 16:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/362804841/pojd43ooces7ttk3/wish/2616063579 362804841 https://padlet.com/362804841/pojd43ooces7ttk3/wish/2616066491 -Costs the government money
