I've read somewhere on the internet ( I forgot to bookmark the source) that If that if at least 0.1% of tidal energy is harnessed the world's energy needs are fully sufficed. We have successfully harnessed wind, solar, hydel, nuclear, and thermal energy, but enough effort is not put forth on tidal energy. Nuclear energy clean but can cause huge disasters like the Chernobyl incident. Japan has shut down some of its nuclear reactors when problems were found. We can't stop countries entering into civilian nuclear energy deals as energy is still a prime requirement.
My question is why not harness the power of tidal energy and build power plants attached to tidal turbines? The problems scientists quote are sea erosion and corrosion. But by building turbines from high strength alloy materials, we can effectively answer both corrosion and saltwater erosion. What are the practical problems in implementing tidal power plants in a big way and your thoughts on the same?
