Why haven’t we harnessed the power of the tides? (9 minute read)
Great summary of the problems of tidal power, thanks. I never knew what happened to that 2011 proposal and now I do.
Thanks Jean. I didn't realised that we'd had proposals which had advanced so far.

In this post from 2011, Tom Murphy makes a good case for tidal contributing maybe 1% of global energy needs, although it could be much more regionally or locally.
One such project is right in my back yard: https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1214436
I learned about tidal energy from Sir Alan Mark and Wise Response. NIWA still has some web space on it. https://niwa.co.nz/coasts/tidal-energy-optimisation
