What is tidal energy?
Tidal energy is one of the oldest forms of energy used by humans. Indeed, tide mills, in use on the Spanish, French and British coasts,
date back to 787 A.D.. Tide mills consisted of a storage pond, filled by the incoming (flood) tide through a sluice and
emptied during the outgoing (ebb) tide through a water wheel. The tides turned waterwheels, producing mechanical power
to mill grain. We even have one remaining in New York- which worked well into the 20th century.
