It's a massive and growing space! Any area in particular you're interested in?

Tbh, I'm not as well versed on that. My gut says that tidal tech is still in early-ish stages of development, so it's not a near- or even mid-term solution. Geographical constraints may also be limiting. That said, it's an abundant and clean source of energy so I'm excited to see how it evolves!

Exactly! Add in storage for solar ramp hours, maybe some nuclear or geothermal (check out Fervo Energy, they're doing some great things in the space) to have a consistent generation profile and there's absolutely a world in my mind where 100% of load is covered by low-carbon sources.
