Submerged in about 40 meters of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides and generate electricity.

Submerged in about 40 meters (44 yards) of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years…

The MeyGen tidal energy project off the coast of Scotland has four turbines producing 1.5 megawatts each, enough electricity collectively to power up to 7,000 homes annually.

    Does ist matter? Even if its only a few places worldwide it makes sense ti develop them. Every bit of regenerative energy is important.

    You could say the same about pumped storage hydroelectricity. There aren’t that many places where you can store water on top of a mountain. Humanity still build a lot of pumped storage.
