Chris Noon
June 08, 2022

Florida’s ambitious plans to fully transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy by 2050 make abundant sense for the Sunshine State, and it’s another welcome step forward in the world’s efforts to combat climate change. But it will take some time to build up the state’s renewable infrastructure, and even in its radiant climate, there are times — every night, in fact — when the sun doesn’t shine.

True, Michelangelo got stone for David from nearby marble quarries, but today Massa is best known for massive machines and heavy-duty engineering. It’s the birthplace of several industrial goliaths, including GE’s latest jet engine, the GE9X.

Our ancestors knew when to plant by looking at it, ship captains navigate by it, and wolves howl at it … and now its draw will power our cities.  After solar power, moon power — or more exactly tidal power — is well positioned to provide a sustainable, limitless power supply for years to come.
