Give tidal power generation 20 years, and they'll be a strident group trying to tear it out due to disruption of tidal dependent marine animal breeding... (Save the X!)
If you think I'm silly, look at hydro power, in the US. Back in the early 20th century, it was the most benign (and cheapest) power generation going. Look at the last 20 years, and the organized "tear out the dams for the fish" groups demanding "get rid of the dams". Look at solar in the southwest US today. Much of the best desert for power generation is blocked off due to the endangered species act.
And this wasn't because of "big oil". It's because some people think that Civlization is a Bad Thing....
