TIL: there is a 6MW "tidal stream energy" plant off the coast of Scotland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeyGen) which apparently actually supplies energy to the normal grid; and there are also plans to extend the plant.

To me as a total layperson this sounds like a great way to complement other renewable energy sources, since tidal water flow should more reliable than wind and sun.

Erosion, federally endangered sturgeon spark debate over Connecticut River dams | Robert Hargraves

Environmentalists celebrate ending stored hydropower behind dams, now operating generators continuously as run of the river, so impounded water levels do not go up and down. This end of stored hydropower removes the ability to fill in power lapses from intermittent solar power and wind power generators. This burns more fossil fuel in natural gas fired turbine generators, which can fill in. Clean nuclear power can replace all these, but we need to get the price down. https://lnkd.in/eu8zdSmv

@urlyman - thanks for marvellous link, had only thought of #waterpower in re gravity (and cf Malm's 'Fossil Capital')

Gigantic Energy Storage Project Taking Shape In Kentucky

Pumped hydropower is the basis for 96% of utility-scale energy storage capacity in the US, and it is ripe with potential for expansion.
