Tidal Gardens could supply 100 GW of tidal energy in America

  • F. Lemperiere
  • Vol. 21 - Issue 4, 2014

Details of the ‘Tidal Gardens’ concept were presented in a paper in H&D Issue One this year; a second paper in Issue Two looked at prospects for Asia. This paper will now focus on possible applications in the Americas.
