* ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE
* CAN BE BUILT CLOSE TO SHORE SO TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND CONSTRUCTION FEASIBILITY ISSUES ARE MINIMIZED
* FLOATING ISLAND CAN SERVE AS A CARGO CONTAINER PLATFORM OR OTHER PORT USAGE
* COMPLETELY ECO FRIENDLY AND PRODUCES MORE ENERGY THAN A NUCLEAR REACTOR
* POWER GENERATION IS STEADY AND REPLENISHES TWICE DAILY
* NOT UNREASONABLE TO BUILD A FLOATING ISLAND THE SIZE OF ONE BASEBALL STADIUM OR TWO LARGE CARGO FREIGHTERS SIDE BY SIDE
* PRODUCES POWER OUTPUT IN EXCESS OF 400MW WHICH IS MORE THAN A NUCLEAR REACTOR
* CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE COST IS FAR LESS EXPENSIVE THAN A NUCLEAR REACTOR
* FLOATING ISLAND CAN BE MONETIZED AS MORE REAL ESTATE / WAREHOUSING SPACE / CONTAINER LOT, CONVENTION THEME HOTEL, HELIPAD
OR WHATEVER MULTIPLE USES FOR EXTRA SPACE
* CAN BE BUILT IN ANY PORT CITY AROUND THE WORLD WITH RELATIVELY SIMPLE CURRENT ENGINEERING EXPERTISE AND EQUIPMENT
* CAN BE CONVERTED INTO CARBON DIOXIDE SCRUBBERS AND CARBON CREDITS MONETIZED
* CAN BE CONVERTED INTO DESALINATION PLANT TO PRODUCE FRESH WATER FOR WATER STARVED NATIONS
* CAN BUILD 10-50 OF THESE FOR THE PRICE OF ONE NUCLEAR REACTOR
* CAN PRODUCE ENOUGH ENERGY TO MAKE A NATION ENERGY INDEPENDENT FROM FOSSIL FUELS
* PRODUCES MINIMAL CARBON OUTPUT, CAN CLEAN AIR OF HEAVY POLLUTION FROM FOSSIL FUEL POWERED FACTORIES AND PLANTS
* SMALLER VERSIONS OF THIS TIDAL PLANT CAN BE PRODUCED TO POWER SMALLER TOWNS OR FACTORIES
*WHILE TIDE IS 'LOADING' FROM LOW TIDE TO HIGH TIDE, THE PROCESS CAN BE INVERTED TO DRIVE GENERATORS AS WELL
