...idea of harnessing that movement to serve the planet's energy needs is too tempting to ignore. Since the Middle Ages people have built tidal mills, trapping an incoming tide in a storage pond to turn a wheel as the water ebbs. But the dream has always been to tap the power of the ocean itself - to harness the force of tides mighty enough to erode and shift entire coastlines.
