Would changing the tides pull the moon in? It’s an interesting idea!

Would changing the tides pull the moon in?

A blade in the water does not need to move fast to generate the same energy as a wind turbine due to the relative difference in density (1000X for water). However I would look at the effect on larger sea animals like whales, dolphins, sea lions etc... which would be more vulnerable. They wouldn’t chop up fish.

We do not have huge deserts in southern latitudes for solar exploitation as does the U.S. We will have to exploit every little bit of running water we can find in the east, and hope the winds blow steady in the west for our wind mills. We have raped our oilfields and sold them to the US, we have mined huge amounts of coal and shipped it away too. We have cut every stick of wood we can find, replanted little, and sold that too! We have some non-renewable Uranium, but can't really afford the reactors to burn it in, Maybe, some cold winter's night when our stupid asses are out in the frost, we will begin to appreciate the true meaning of words like 'sustainable' and renewable', Until that time, most of us will go on, mimicking the behavior of our neighbors to the south, and in denial of the finite supplies in nature.
