This post relates to my blog as well! tidal is an alternative energy source. A few problems I see has to do with the rise of "natural disasters," such as hurricanes and tsunamis.

So, even if we completely stop emitting right now, we will still see a rise in overall global temperatures for a little while. So, I see disasters such as tsunamis and hurricanes potentially causing a problem with tidal energy, unless these devices are built to withstand such weather.
