Well said @phb. As @n3m0 kindly pointed out above, tidal generation of electricity was touched upon in our renewable energy thread.
@Fred123’s original comment was in jest, but of course the ocean is an important ecosystem that helps sustain life on this planet. Energy is a very important consumer issue, and one that we feel deserves a place at the discussion table at the least. However, we are a consumer forum and as such we do not host political debates or general environmental debates that do not link with consumer issues.
With that in mind, if Community members would like to disucss tidal energy generation in more detail, we are happy to keep the discussion open for now. Please note the following points:
- No personal attacks, please keep it friendly (our Community FAQ and policies are here for those who need a reminder)
- No need to go over general ‘renewable energy’ debates, rather see the aforementioned thread
- Please back up your arguments on the topic at hand and include references or reasoning
- Please flag any behaviour that is against our terms of service, so that CHOICE staff can take appropriate action
