Tidal Waves
Don't get tide down;)
North Carolina
Wildlife: frames of turbines can lead to disruption of pf movement of large marine animals and ships
-disrupt fish migration
-can kill fish population when passing turbines
-noise pollution
-change water flow
-harm animals
Map Of US
This energy source will do well for North Carolina and the US by bringing power to homes on the coast.
Process
Its works by tidal kinetic energy flowing through to a turbine causing it to spin powering the generator up top.
Cost
As an example of the cost of setting up, a proposed 8000 MW tidal power plant and barrage system on the Severn Estuary in the UK has been estimated to cost US$15 billion, while another in the San Bernadino strait which would produce 2,200 MW as a tidal fence in the Philippines will cost an estimated US$3 billion.
Development of Technology
scientist have tracked the oldest power source using tides to 900a.d. it goes from dams to water wheels to now what we have the water turbines. :D
Our alternate energy source is the best because it uses natural kinetic energy from lowing water for power.
Its used for powering electricity, heating, and cooling for homes in the coast. In the future it could be used for powering ships.
