I WONDER - What Is Tidal Energy?

Tidal energy is a highly predictable form of renewable energy that harnesses the rise and fall of ocean tides to generate electricity. This is achieved through the use of special barrages or underwater turbines placed in tidal streams. As water flows in and out with the tide, it drives these turbines, producing electricity. The predictability of tides makes tidal energy a reliable source of power.
