TY - CONF TI - The Reality of Environmental Compliance: A Tidal Perspective AU - Barr, S AB - Tidal Energy is an important source of alternative energy because it is compliant in three areas. These areas include predictability, energy density, and no visual/noise impact. In addition, tidal energy has a high potential ceiling in energy resources and economic impacts. There are 50 TWh resources located in Irish/UK waters and 19.6 TWH in U.S. waters. Not to mention, there is an estimated 128 Euros expected to be made from equipment sales.Currently, the European Marine Energy Centre is a leading industry for tidal renewals. Much of the leading technology is underway by the EMEC. DA - 2009/04// PY - 2009 SP - 7 LA - English KW - Marine Energy KW - Tidal KW - Human Dimensions KW - Legal & Policy ER -
