NO dude, you do NOT need to dam off the Bay, not even partially. You're still thinking inside the box.
Then by all means explain to me how your outside the box thinking works. I do grow tired of people that do not understand that drawing power slows the flow regardless of what sort of turbine you're using.

Look, read this paper: https://www.novascotia.ca/nse/ea/wh...erence.Documents/25.Dadswell.Breir.salmon.pdf

What do you suppose turbines in the main flow would do? Do you think that nothing would happen or that it would be like the Windmills in Altamont Pass in the Livermore Valley with the ground beneath the windmills littered with the chopped up bodies of the rarest Raptors such as the Redtail Hawks and the Bald Eagles and migrating species such as ducks and geese?

Tell me - are you going to tell me I'm thinking inside the box if I tell you that NOTHING in this universe can fly faster than the speed of light and never will?

Without the wash of saltwater in and out the entire ecosystem of the bay would be destroyed.

But I'm sure that you will believe different because you're an outside the boxer.

i would go with reciprocal wave motion
i have something like it on the dock now - in conjunction with a solar panel, it charges the dock light battery
(I made this version from an old spincrank self charging flashlight, and some old toilet parts)

This is quite usable for something like a rechargeable dock-light. That's probably 25 or 30 watts. But now consider what drawing a million kilowatts off reciprocating wave motion would mean.

The only way to make this possible would be on the open ocean wave system. And then how to you prevent a storm system from tearing it to pieces?

The also have a "windmill" system that works by having a vertical rod and the wind blowing past it makes it vibrate and this vibration is converted to electrical current a number of different ways. The advantages this has is that there are no blades to cut birds to shreds. They are EXTREMELY strong and not easy to break in high winds so they could be used anywhere in the USA and would only be liable for damage from an almost direct hit from a tornado. In the minus column - they don't make much power individually so you have to have thousands of individual systems whee you have but a small field of the new super-sized windmills.

https://metaefficient.com/news/new-record-worlds-largest-wind-turbine-7-megawatts.html

These units are almost the largest anywhere in the world. The blades are so huge that they appear to be moving in slow motion. But they aren't. And they have all of the same problems that the smaller versions do - they only work in a relatively narrow band of wind speeds. They spend 70% of the time when they are turning not making power because the wind speeds are too low.

Green energy is nothing more than a catch phrase.

This whole "going green" thing is one of the biggest scams going these days, even the governments are part of this problem, and there is only one taxpayer picking up the cost of all this nonsense.

That is the goal.

You have the entire environmental movement in a nutshell. Originally it sounded like a good idea. And they did some good. But not a lot and the good they did do was totally overblown in the media.

Then the environmental movement was taken over by a political movement that couldn't care less about the environment and most of the "green energy movement" stuff is totally worthless and was ONLY good for making politicians a LOT of money.

The climate change movement has made so few people so much money that if we had a media interested they could be caught in an instant. Why have we had a government subsidizing solar power businesses that have almost entirely gone out of business. While for small special reasons this is a worthwhile method the large scale use of solar cells is nothing more than a scam.

But it is fine to spend trillions on war and weapons of mass destruction. Some people... looks like they had their brain stems separated at birth.

One thing we can say about you - you don't have the ability to add one single thing to any conversation I've seen you on. That must really be your picture.

Just think Cliffy , if you can , how many more of us parasitical beings would be consuming mother earth's bounty if it were not for war .

I see that our newest Yank troll is trying to spread his vile Yank climate propaganda on here, again.

Pi55 off, foreign trash.

Yes - I would really like to go back to the good old days of coal-fired central heating, inefficient gas-guzzling cars, and a complete lack of pollution controls on industry.

You want to go back to the days of no cars, and hunter gathering I see
