U.S. Department of Energy allocated $15.5 million to harness tidal and river current energy to create pollution-free power.

One project has been given $6 million to bring a two-megawatt capacity tidal energy turbine to the Rosario Strait in the San Juan Islands , Washington .

Another project in Alaska will receive $ 9.5million to deliver two tidal energy devices in the Cook Inlet , which could produce between one and five megawatts of power.
