Tidal Energy Tidal energy is also known as tidal power‚ it is a form of hydropower that converts the energy collected from ocean tides into useful types of power‚ most specifically electricity. Tidal energy has been around for many years but the use of it today is minimal at best. Being that tidal energy relies solely on the oceans’ tides‚ which are always there and always will be‚ it has the potential to be a front-runner in the coming future of electricity. Though it is not yet a top source
