Hydroelectric power works much the same as tidal power but in one constant direction. Hydroelectic power is a very clean energy source. It gives off no byproducts or greenhouse gases into the atmousphere , but, it has problems.

At one time, most of the US continent was covered by water, which is why ocean fossils are found in places like the Grand Canyon.
Switchgrass is one potential biofuel that is closely being explored by experts. It may have a role in the sustainable energy future.
