When it comes to ocean power, wind turbines get all of the attention.  below the surface of the infamous East River, tidal turbines are getting ready to make a big statement in the New york. in 2006, Verdant Power started testing tidal-driven turbines in New York City’s East River.  Since then, the company has installed six battle-tested turbines that have generated electricity for several nearby businesses.Now Verdant wants to take the next step and build the nation’s first grid-tied, full-scale tidal power plant.The company recently filed an application with federal regulators that would allow it to install up to 30 tidal turbines in the East River.  The turbines would generate about 1 megawatt of electricity, representing just a fraction of New York State’s potential tidal power, estimated to be anywhere between 50 to 500 megawatts . Making the use of energy eco-friendly.

I think this article was boring . But I do think it is smart to use a resource like water to make energy since we have a lot of it.
