Ocean energy

Tidal turbines harness marine currents and tidal energy using tidal stream turbines that work much... [+] like submerged windmills, but are driven by flowing water rather than by air.

START Diavision / Hammerfest Stroem The lights in Hammerfest, Norway, just got a little brighter, thanks to the world’s only electricity-generating tidal mill.
