Tidal power is a waste of money. It barely generates any power in nearly all locations. You need a significant tide and a natural chokepoint for water flows before it's even remotely worth the investment.

@StephenGillie The UK west coast does have a few of those strong current points. Korea too I guess. But they installed them as a testbed on the Dutch Oosterschelde dam and the yield was basically anywhere between 'not much' and hahahaha. The same was done in a few Dutch rivers and while technically it did create power, the cost-revenue ratio meant it doesn't seem commercially viable. So barring a sort of mechanical revolution, it'll remain a niche thing. Which is kinda sad because wind and solar tend to be concentrated in the daytime, requiring a very significant nuclear component on standby to create a fossil-free power generation.

@conor7154 Because idiot freaks were argueing "We must never use nuclear power or drill for natural gas! Only wind turbines!"

1:33 "Whatever that might mean" It's not often that I feel the need say this on this channel, but you're flat out wrong there. Wind turbines produce a constant 46-52 decibel sound, which is why Dutch urban planners are banned from putting them anywhere within 250 meters of any house, and within 500 meters is considered to be sub-optimal. The preferential limit for sound nuisance on the outside of houses is 48 decibels (daily average, abreviated as Lden) in the Netherlands, which is the strictest norm I'm aware of. That's the equivalent of a fairly loud conversation being held near you, 24/7, every single day. And Lykkegaard goes a bit like Lee Kay Gaaaaard (gard, but elongate it)

That's become a non-question: It already has caught up.
