It's very clean and does not produce CO2
It uses kinetic energy and GPE
It ruins the landscape
What is not an advantage of tidal power?
makes no polution
expensive to build
cheap to maintain
more efficient than solar power
Where does tidal power schemes occur?
river estuary
in the desert
in a pool
in a beach
