Renewable.
It uses the movement of the oceans to generate electricity when it is used for power.

∙ 11y agoWhen the tide comes in the water goes through a barrage of turbines, generating electricity. When the water goes out again, it repeats the process.
The location is very important, because you have to have a great bay filled with water that rushes out quickly through a narrow opening to the sea. This is the only way it is economical.

What are some examples of tidal energy being used?
tidal energy is used to turn turbines which drive generators to produce electricity
How much energy does tidal energy produce in one day?
The amount of Watts a tidal energy gives is 200-300W
Tidal power how the energy source is turned into usable energy?
Large underwater turbines are placed in areas where tidal forces are high. Here they capture the energy produced by tidal motions to turn generators and produce electricity.
How does tidal movement produce energy?
Tidal movement produces energy when tidal generators are placed in areas where the movement of the tide is dramatic. This movement causes the turbines in the generators to turn and produces motor movement.
What energy sources produce no greenhouse gasses?
Renewable energy sources produce no greenhouse gases.Examples are solar, hydro, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, biomass, biofuel and others.
What are some examples of tidal energy being used?

How is geothermal energy different from tidal energy?
geothermal is the heat from the earth being used to produce electric power VS tidal use the movement of the oceans tides to produce electric power.
How much energy does tidal energy produce in one day?
The amount of Watts a tidal energy gives is 200-300W
What is the purpose of tidal energy?
The purpose of tidal energy is to be used as a resource in hydropower, a renewable source of energy. Tidal energy can be created by barrages, fences, or turbines.
Tidal power how the energy source is turned into usable energy?
Large underwater turbines are placed in areas where tidal forces are high. Here they capture the energy produced by tidal motions to turn generators and produce electricity.
How does tidal movement produce energy?
Tidal movement produces energy when tidal generators are placed in areas where the movement of the tide is dramatic. This movement causes the turbines in the generators to turn and produces motor movement.
Who found tidal energy?
Marchellini Pron Vamour, the inventor of tidal energy, First used in the 1200's in Rome.
What percentage of tidal energy is used in Ontario?
there are no tidal plants in Ontario. the tides are not strong enough.
Where is tidal energy used commonly?
in New York
Is tidal energy commonly used?
in New York
What are 2 ways the ocean can provide energy?
Wave action and tidal currents are being utilized today to produce electrical energy.
What energy sources produce no greenhouse gasses?
Renewable energy sources produce no greenhouse gases.Examples are solar, hydro, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, biomass, biofuel and others.
