 Tidal energy is an alternate energy source which uses the oceans tides to produce energy. I haven’t really heard that much about these type of power plants and all but there actually kinda interesting. Turbines are placed under the water and the current or waves turns the turbines. The turbines are connected to another machine which is visible above the water which looks like a small dam. There it power is converted into electricity. This needs to be used a lot more since the entire earth is covered in water and that could be a lot of electricity. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiA4sjhkvvsAhVJ7qwKHXjoDa0QFjACegQIAhAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalgeographic.org%2Fencyclopedia%2Ftidal-energy%2F&usg=AOvVaw3Ud9Vtm8ZCPrua0jDSiiCX
