Submission Statement
It often tends to be forgotten, but solar energy has a twin – renewable lunar energy – harnessing the power of the tides. Not everywhere in the world is suited to it. However, this company says there’s enough of it to meet 10% of global electricity demand. Some places are especially well suited, and they point out Alaska could get 100% of its electricity from tidal power.
I saw a video on these things, definitely cool, but they are pretty large, and 500 of them would be a lot. The type of large presence that could disturb an ecosystem possibly.
