Planet Warriors – Tidal / Hydro Power- Episode 3
This episode, Bryce meets Flo, the wave-making Planet Warrior who’s all about going with the flow. Together, they dive beneath the surface to discover how rushing rivers and rolling tides can spin turbines, light up cities, and keep the planet powered. With help from Douglas Hunt at Marine Renewable Energy (MAREN), they bust myths about fish-friendly turbines, underwater safety, and how engineers are harnessing the power of water while minimising harm to the environment.
From dams to tidal flows, it’s a current-filled adventure proving that clean energy is making a splash around the world.
