why dont we just put windmills under the water?water is heavier than wind so it will make more electricity
>>107611249we already do this you absolute fucking retard, it's called a turbine
>>107611265yes wind turbines exist but we should put them in watterno need for name calling fren
>>107611249>why dont we just put windmills under the water?because you're next up on the list of being put under the water
>>107611293why
>>107611249>>107611278>>107611309Nigger niggee nigger nice Niger niggee nigger nigger
>>107611309water is heavier than wind so you will make more electricity
>>107611278
>>107611249Not so easy to keep the electric parts moving in a subsea environment while keeping your electrical components watertight. Also, current speeds are usually much lower than wind speeds so energetically speaking it will not be so easy to get the same yields. Large offshore turbines will go up to 20MW, while the ONLY commercially water turbine is half a MW.>verification: not requiredhttps://tocardo.com/
>>107611352>https://tocardo.com/I assumed that you were talking about offshore currents, since the tides happen daily and are very predictable.None of that gay fluvial hydro power like >>107611340 suggests
>>107611249>when a retard has an epiphany
>>107611249nice idea. you're just 20,000 years late
>nooooooooooooo you can't heckin do a controlled depopulation to account for stable logistics for resources and use hydropower for mega city states that would dwarf las vegas, think of the temporary ecological damage from fresh water floods nobody would live around if one broke!>btw ackshully nevermind the permanent damage from massively expedited uranium mining that is finite vs the practical infinite use of water ( that doesn't still use fossil fuels ), toxic waste dumped into the ocean and everything wrong with nuclear power we NEED to build 10,000 plants nobody will be able to do maintenance on if the grid went down which could lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions immediately because we need to LE OWN le coal and gas companies okay??nuclear shills can't get the rope fast enough
>>107611330but i am not a windmill fren i dont even have wingos
>>107611249turn out it will be only worth it in a few straits in the world, because most of the good currents are really far away from the land, so you only have shit like the gibraltar strait, which are often in between two different countries so you have geopolitcal shit too
>>107611408
>>107611249this would have been funnier if it wasn't for the tide pod. obvious bait.
>>107611249Ever hear of hydroelectric?Hoover dam, Parker dam, Imperial dam, all three produce electricity on the Colorado riverThe Grand Coulee dam in Washington state on the Columbia River does too
Why can't they use the earths rotation to generate electricity?
>>107612094We would need something that can act against the rotation of earth, to produce the resistance and current. Like a sci-fi mega structure in space. The spin of the earth also isn't renewable, it's very gradually slowing down. Anything acting in resistance to the earth's spin would act as a decelerant, increasing the rate of slowing, increasing the length of the day, and might eventually lead to the earth losing all of it's spin.
>>107611249>water is heavier than windNo
>>107612422>>water is heavier than wind>NoThen explain the concept of rain to me!
>>107612094is really slow, you will need an absurdly massive thing to use ittidal power is a derivative of it so we can kinda use it, but only in very specific bays
Moisture in the air can condense into droplets and fall down due to a difference in density (not weight)
>>107612479Forgot to quote the retard >>107612464
Tidal power system already exist. They're just not very good for the money.
