| Oct 14, 2022 at 8:59 | comment | added | Adam | Are all currents used for hydropower turbines tidal? I'm not sure. The big ocean currents for instance like the Gulf Stream are not tidal, although I'm not sure any ocean currents have ever been exploited. | |
| Nov 24, 2014 at 16:53 | comment | added | Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight | A few test towers have been build according to Wikipedia. One that was operating at 200KW in 2008 was supposed to have been upgraded to 27.5MH by 2013. Unfortunately it appears that the upgrade was cancelled when proximity to an airport resulted in height restrictions. scmp.com/news/china/article/1487659/… | |

Added solar updraught towers.

| Nov 24, 2014 at 16:10 | comment | added | Flyto | @DanNeely I guess it could, but has anybody got far enough with building one to give any idea as to the cost of energy? I'll edit in something. | |
