Tide May Be Turning for Power Generated by Moon and Waves
Wave and tidal power could provide up to a third of the electricity in the United States by 2030, according to two new reports released on Jan. 18 by the Dept. of Energy. According to the studies, wave and tidal power could generate about 1,420 terawatt hours, or TWh, of electricity per year. The U.S. uses 4,000 TWh each year.
