    • tidal power does not
      cause pollution
    • tidal power is predicted twice a day so it is
      reliable
    • the construction of tidal power is 

      costly
      • These might not be near where the electricity is needed, and that
      requires miles and miles of electricity lines.
      • There is some potential damage to the marine environment when
      turbines are installed in large numbers.
    • Tidal barrages affect the flow of water through estuaries,
      can alter habitats and affect migrating fish and other animals.
