Engineers dreams and fossil energy replacement schemes can come
true. Man has been tapping the energy of the sea to provide power
for his industries for centuries. Tidal energy combined with that
of waves and marine winds rank among those most successfully put
the work. Large scale plants are capital intensive but smaller
ones, particularly built in China, have proven profitable. Since
the initiation of the St Malo project in France, similar projects
have gone into active service where methods have been devised to
cut down on costs, new types of turbines developed and cost
competitiveness considerably improved. Tidal power has enormous
potential. The book reviews recent progress in extracting power
from the ocean, surveys the history of tidal power harnessing and
updates a prior publication by the author."
