The world’s oceans could play a role in supporting the clean energy grids of the future. But that possibility hinges on the successful rollout of tidal stream and wave technology. Tidal stream energy ...

The U.K.’s annual electricity demand is expected to more than double by 2050. To meet this daunting target without relying on fossil fuels, the government is betting big on wind power—one of the ...

Researchers have cataloged 426 potential tidal-stream turbine sites spread across 19 countries, quantifying a theoretical energy resource of 1,000 terawatt-hours per year from 262 of those locations.

Tidal power is a fantastic source of clean, predictable energy – if you can harness it. It's proven immensely difficult due to a range of factors, but engineering giant SKF says it's making major ...

"During the early hours of this morning … our tidal stream array off the coast of the Pentland Firth became the first tidal stream array in the world to generate 50GWh of electricity," Graham Reid, ...

Potential benefits of tidal energy as a renewable-energy source. What is a tidal barrage power system? U.K. efforts to implement tidal power. A major source of tidal energy comes from the natural rise ...

Tidal power is a way to generate clean, renewable energy by harnessing the rise and fall of ocean tides. Unlike wind and solar power, tidal power is predictable on a regular basis. There are two ...

Tides are predictable years in advance, unlike wind or sunlight. Because of this reliability, harnessing the energy of ocean tides has long appealed to engineers. The difficulty lies in building ...

Bloomberg: demand for drilling rigs in Canada has jumped to the highest in years. $100 oil has sparked change in the Canadian oil patch. Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said that his ...
