Out of all of the known green energy generation solutions, tidal power seems like one of the most underutilised. However, there could be a good reason for this. Pound for pound other technologies like wind, seem to represent a more efficient way of generating more power. However, innovations like tidal kites are looking to change this, extracting more energy by ingenious solutions. In this video we look at Minesto's Dragon 12 and 4, SeaQurrent's TidalKite, and MeyGen, to see how their innovations stack up and the problems they need to overcome.
