Morgan Ziemer- Tidal energy by Morgan Ziemer https://padlet.com/8017619/qgcg4raiv82lna7y en-us 2023-11-16 19:52:17 UTC 2023-11-16 20:27:24 UTC hello@padlet.com How does tidal energy generate electricity? 8017619 https://padlet.com/8017619/qgcg4raiv82lna7y/wish/2793003281 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.

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.

Fort Collins can support hydro energy through rivers and reservoirs though. We can use dams to generate electricity throughout Fort Collins.

Hydro power is also available all year long which is beneficial when planning to build a hydro powered dam.
