Tidal Powered Carbon Neutral Observatory

Tidal power is only one component of this cool futuristic observatory that aims to be entirely carbon neutral. This water-based energy may power lifts as well as other functions required in the main visitor center alongside wind turbines. Simultaneously, as much as possible will be done to bring natural light in to illuminate structural spaces – also reducing the overall energy needs of the complex’s interior places. Visitors will be able to observe wildlife, weather and other natural phenomena all within a sustainably powered system of structures.
