The Benefits to Tidal Power

First of all tidal power is free. Although the cost to build a tidal power plant is up there, once the initial groundwork has been laid, the tidal power works for nothing. Furthermore, it is a renewable source of energy as the tides are related to the Sun, the Earth and the Moon, all of which are not going anywhere anytime soon.

Second of all, tidal power is great for the environment. Instead of using fossil fuels that emit poisonous gases and emissions, tidal power uses water. There are no greenhouse gases and other wastes produced and the only thing being used is clean water.

Finally, tidal power is actually beneficial to the economy as well. Tidal power plants can generate plenty of jobs across the globe and can also attract tourists to a town that has a tidal power plant. After all, tidal power plants are not something you see every day.
