Several more are proposed from Maine to Massachusetts and and Washington and California. Tidal flow generation is similar to wind power in terms of mechanics, just translate the birds getting thumped into fish getting thumped.

Make it environmentally safe and you may have an answer. Enviromentalism is a big obstacle. Make it environmentally safe and you may have an answer.

I think "yooperpooper" (great name) is right...too much money to develop the initial technology needed to harness and then deliver this energy.....of course I'm sure it would pay off in the long run. it’s a great question….

They also estimate the potential contribution of each source--it was a good read. Just reread your question--not sure if you're talking about wave generators or tidal flow generators. The problem with tidal flow generators, which work like a charm, is the value of coastal real estate in populated areas. Makes it cost prohibitive. OOPS!! Popular Mechanics--not Discover. Sorry!
