Energy Assignment Part 3

#3 Tidal Power

I ranked tidal power at #3 because I see no potential in it being implemented into the UAE. The UAE's economy relies heavily on crude oil so I just don't see them going in that direction. Tidal power relies a lot on location as well, and the location of the UAE does not correspond to work well with tidal power.

#2 Solar Energy

I ranked solar energy at #2 because potential in it being put into place is evident. The UAE plans to implement cleaner, more renewable forms of energy. They plan to start producing power from clean coal and solar energy by 2020.

#3 Nuclear Energy

I ranked nuclear energy at #1 because the UAE government is already working on it. The UAE plans to install nuclear power plants to meet its energy needs. It has signed an agreement with the U.S. on nuclear cooperation, and is also a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
