  • A quick search on TreeHugger shows that ' solar power ' most often occurs in connection with producing electricity and only secondarily in connection with solar water heaters
  • Compared to electrically heated Water , Solar Water Heating is 57% of the internal rate of return, the scientists found

  • first tidal energy turbines
  • Both technologies require room for periodic ship-borne maintenance and repair access, with subsurface equipment which could impinge on the other facility if they're too close. And if one of the turbines breaks, as happened in 2010 with an earlier tidal turbine in the Bay of Fundy, PC Landing worries it could damage the nearby cable.

      This is a barrage system. Old tech.
  • Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into useful forms of power - mainly electricity.
  • Tidal power is extracted from the Earth's oceanic tides; tidal forces are periodic variations in gravitational attraction exerted by celestial bodies
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Tidal power is the only technology that draws on energy inherent in the orbital characteristics of the Earth–Moon system, and to a lesser extent in the Earth–Sun system.
  • A tidal generator converts the energy of tidal flows into electricity. Greater tidal variation and higher tidal current velocities can dramatically increase the potential of a site for tidal electricity generation

    "tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power."

  • .In this form of Tidal Power,a Barrage is built near the coast where water is collected during the periods of high tides.During low tide the barrage allows the water from the reservoir to move towards the ocean or sea.The potential energy of the water at a higher level is converted to electricity using Turbines.

  • "Worldwide, approximately 3000 gigawatts (1 gigawatt = 1 GW = 1 billion watts) of energy is continuously available from the action of tides.
  • The best areas are on the eastern sides of the oceans (western side of the continents) between the 40 and 60 latitudes in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
  • While the "wave power at deep ocean sites is three to eight times the wave power at adjacent coastal sites," constructing and mooring the site and transmitting the electricity to shore would be prohibitively costly.

  • There is a handful of wave energy demonstration plants operating worldwide, but none produces a significant amount of electricity.

  • But only about 12 percent gets turned into electricity, and the rest is reradiated as heat--which contributed to Global Warming
  • solar panels trap a greater amount of energy from the sun than the natural terrain (since it is black) and consequently retains that energy on earth contributing to the rising temperatures on the planet.

  • Because waves are erratic, the amount of energy a wave generator can produce is unpredictable and, therefore, cannot be used as a sole reliable energy source.
  • accidental hydraulic fluid leaks can cause a major environmental problem.
  • A collision could cause a hydraulic spill or leak and become an environmental hazard.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Boats not able to see the generators could cause a potential collision hazard and pose problems for the safety of both those on board and to the wave energy generator.
  • Wave energy boasts many advantages such as its low cost, zero to no pollution, and a large energy output.
  • Wave energy generators can cause noise pollution and be a nuisance to those living close to them, according to the UK Department for Business Innovation & Skills. The noise emanating from a generator, though, is often covered up by the noise of the waves.

  • In addition to noise pollution wind turbines also have visual burdens.
  • The health impact of visual burdens cannot be underestimated. An epidemiology study conducted by World Health Organization determined a “bad view out of window” increased the risk for depression by 40%. The same study also demonstrated disturbance by noise and sleep disturbance by noise increased the risk of depression 40%, and 100% respectively.
