Harnessing the power of the highest tides in the world produced by Canada’s Bay of Fundy has been a major engineering challenge. Sustainable Marine just did it, and they’re now selling tidal energy to the Nova Scotia government. The Weather Network was invited out to tour the floating platform to get a first hand look at the next gen technology just off Westport, Nova Scotia.

This innovative power plant in Ethiopia burns waste to produce enough energy for up to a quarter of homes in the capital city, Addis Ababa.
The plant also produces water, eco-friendly bricks and creates hundreds of local jobs.
In the film, Global Managing Director, Samuel Alemayehu, talks us through how the project works and the impact and benefits it has for Ethiopia.

Watch these 4 Very Unique And Innovative Sources of Renewable Energy that You Might have Not Seen Before. These are newest sources of clean energy we should know. This can really help save our planet earth.
Before anything else, PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO LINK below to know the reason why I am now the one in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZPYT74mRAU
Renewable Energy source #1 The Whirlpool Turbine called “Turbulent Hydro”.
This whirlpool turbine can provide enough electricity to power many homes, providing enough energy 24 hours a day. This kind of technology is created by Belgian company called TURBULENT. This turbine can be installed anywhere in the world where there are rivers or canals or any flowing water in order to generate energy from the flowing water.
Renewable Energy source #2 The Solar Heart Engine
This kind of technology, as a source of renewable energy uses heat exhausted from the factory of Coal Energy and converts it into clean renewable energy, totally creating another source new source of electricity to power homes, etc.
Renewable Energy source #3 The Transparent Solar Panels
The company called Ubiquitous Energy, is the one making the world’s first transparent solar cells, a kind of very unique technology that could totally expand the reach of solar power. This kind of technology uses invisible film that can be placed on any clear surface and generate energy from the sun. It can be used on the windows on buildings, like skyscrapers and basically anything as long as it has clear surface like window glasses to generate sun’s energy.
Renewable Energy source #4 The Sunflower Solar Panel (Smartflower)
This kind of technology as a new source of renewable energy is capable of following the direction of the sun because of its dual-axis tracker that makes it totally possible for its center “petals” to follow the sun’s direction wherever it is across the sky throughout the entire day making sure that it gathers enough energy from sunlight all day long to power homes, and devices that need electricity. It is capable of producing 40% more electricity than the standard regular solar panels we used to see in every houses’ rooftops.

[BBC Technology Documentary] Renewable Energy – NEW Science Documentary HD
Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat.[2] Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generation, hot water/space heating, motor fuels, and rural (off-grid) energy services.[3]
Based on REN21’s 2014 report, renewables contributed 19 percent to our energy consumption and 22 percent to our electricity generation in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Both, modern renewables, such as hydro, wind, solar and biofuels, as well as traditional biomass, contributed in about equal parts to the global energy supply. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US4 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels.[4]
Renewable energy resources exist over wide geographical areas, in contrast to other energy sources, which are concentrated in a limited number of countries. Rapid deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency is resulting in significant energy security, climate change mitigation, and economic benefits.[5] In international public opinion surveys there is strong support for promoting renewable sources such as solar power and wind power.[6] At the national level, at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing more than 20 percent of energy supply. National renewable energy markets are projected to continue to grow strongly in the coming decade and beyond.[7]
While many renewable energy projects are large-scale, renewable technologies are also suited to rural and remote areas and developing countries, where energy is often crucial in human development.[8] United Nations’ Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said that renewable energy has the ability to lift the poorest nations to new levels of prosperity
