Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Tidal energy is a form of energy produced by the natural rise and fall of tides caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth, the sun, and the moon. Tidal energy is a renewable source. Tidal currents with sufficient energy for harvesting occur when water passes through the obstruction to increase pressure, causing the water to move faster. Tidal energy works with the help of a turbine or paddles like a wind turbine, with its blades rotating 12 to 18 times a minute, depending on tide strength. This paddle is connected to a gearbox that turns a generator, creating electricity.
