Modifications and additions
Not much will need to change in order to install tidal harness. The only additions needed to be made are the set up of the equiptment in the Ocean and the hook up of the generators to the power lines.

Tidal Harness is created by the kinetic energy from the ocean's high and low tides. This kinetic energy from the moving water turns the blades of a turbine, which goes to a generator, where it is converted into electricity.
Community Availability
Tidal Harness equiptment is very expensive to set up. Though, overtime the pricing starts going down. Today in France, consumers pay 3.7 cents for tidal harness per khw. This is cheaper than both geothermal and nuclear. If the government was funding a tidal harness project, it would be expensive because because of the set up cost.
Cons
There are some negative consequences to tidal harness. The equiptment used for tidal harness can make the water nearby murky which affects birds and other wildlife because they cannot hunt when they cannot see. The equiptment is easily damaged and very noisy as well. Also, it takes large waves o produce a decent amount of electricity.
Tidal Harness has many positive benefits and only some negative consequences. Here are some reasons why we should use tidal harness in the U.S. Tidal harness is a renewable energy source. This means that it cannot runnout. The tide is more dependable than the wind and sun. So unlike the sun and wind, you can always count on tides everyday. The efficiency of tidal harness is nearly 90%. This is good because it means that almost all of the energy produced by tidal power plants goes into creating electricity. Also, tidal power plants cause almost no chemichal pollution.
Currently, tidal harness is not availabe in The U.S. There are hopes that power plants will be installed soon. Since Oregon is a coastal state, there are places tidal equiptment could be set up. Also, nearby Washington and California are both considered high potential areas for tidal harness.
Tidal Harness right now is being used in many different parts of the world such as Northern Ireland, China, France and Canada. The largest power plant currently, is located in South Korea in the Sihwa Lake Power Station. Power plants are planned to be installed within the next ten years in Scotland and India.
