The US receives its first tidal power generator.

I just thought I would bring you this story about tidal power. What you see below is a picture of the USA's very first tidal powered generator:

Now I have known about tidal powered generation for several years now. And have been keeping an eye on the Scottish experimentations in the field of power generation from tidal power.

Evidently from the looks of this article that I have been reading they must have been a great success over there. Because we are now importing their technology to be used over here.

And from this article as well, this is just the first of many to come. This first tidal generation project is named 'TidGen Cobscook Bay' off of Eastport, Maine. It is further reported that 100 billion gallons of water that flows in and out of Cobscook each day, and they hope to eventually have 3 MW of tidal power generation after they get up to their end goal. This is supposedly enough power to run somewhere between 75 and 100 homes.

It is projects such as this that will be powering our future. We have the technology to now break the fossil fuel industry's grip on out nations energy. Tidal power is only part of the mix that includes solar, and wind energy as well. Plus with the recent advances in batteries we have had we can now store energy generated by 'green' means for future when it is needed.
