	Tide - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In the summer of 1966, a tidal power plant with a capacity of 240,000 kw went into operation on the Rance River, an estuary of the English Channel in northwestern France.
		The incoming tide of the river flows through a dam, driving turbines, and then is trapped behind the dam.
		Such tidal power plants are most efficient if the difference between high and low tides is great, as in the Rance estuary, where the difference is 8.5 m (28 ft).
