Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.
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 the 20th century, engineers developed
ways to use tidal movement to generate electricity in areas where there is a significant tidal
range—the difference in area between high tide and low tide. All methods use special
generators to convert tidal energy into electricity. Tidal energy production is still in its
infancy. The amount of power produced so far has been small. There are very few
commercial-sized tidal power plants operating in the world. The first was located in La Rance,
France. The largest facility is the Sihwa 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 at a
reasonable price. China, France, England, Canada, and Russia have much more potential to use
this type of energy.
In the United States, there are legal concerns about underwater land ownership and
environmental impact. Investors are not enthusiastic about tidal energy because there is not a
strong guarantee that it will make money or benefit consumers. Engineers are working to
improve the technology of tidal energy generators to increase the amount of energy they
produce, to decrease their impact on the environment, and to find a way to earn a profit for
energy companies.
