Big Projects for Harnessing Tides Across Nations
The American Magazine notes rising tide power plans including a 5,000 horsepower French facility near Brest, a 150 million dollar English Severn estuary scheme, and Maine’s 100 million dollar Fundy bay project. Tidal reservoirs would store water at high tide and release it to drive turbines as tides fall, with some output used to boost other reservoirs.
