Tidal energy is produced by the surge of ocean waters during the rise and fall of tides. Tidal energy is a renewable source of energy. During(доуринь) the 20th century(сентури), engineers developed(дивэлопд) ways to use tidal movement(муувмент) to generate electricity in areas where there is a significant tidal range—the difference(дифренс) in area(эриа) between high tide and low tide. All methods use special generators to convert(конвёрт) tidal energy into(интуу) electricity.

Tidal energy production is still in its infancy(инфэнси). The amount of power produced(продьюст) so far has been small. There are very few(фью) commercial(камёсл)-sized tidal power plants operating(апереитин) in the world. The first was located(лоукатэд) in La Rance, France. The largest facility(фэсилити) is the Sihwa(сиуа) Lake Tidal Power Station in South Korea. The United States has no tidal plants and only a few sites where tidal energy could be produced(продьюст) at a reasonable(ризнебл) price. China, France, England, Canada, and Russia have much more potential to use this type of energy.

The article(атикл) "Tidal Energy" by the National Geographic Society(сэсаити) discusses(дискасыз) the generation of electricity by tidal ocean waters during(доуринь) the rise and fall of tides. Various methods of energy capture(капчуу) are shown. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods and how they affect the environment are considered(консидеред). The article highlights the importance(импортэнс) of solutions in the field of sustainable energy and the provision of renewable energy to increasingly(инкрисингли) large areas, as well(велл) as the development and improvement(импруувмент) of this technology(текнолоджи). The author assures(асуэз) that the energy output(аутпут) by such methods is very minimal and will not be able to provide a sufficient(софайснт) level. My point of view coincides(коинсайдз) with the author, such an energy source can only serve as an auxiliary(агзилиари) one, or if other options are not considered(консидеред) or are not possible
