That proves that you can't read.You didn't supply any link, "genius"!
The link is about a dam, what's that got to do with underwater turbines? I am familiar with the tidal current, you learn real fast in a kayak! It picks up steam at peak periods and you don't want to be paddling against it then. Obviously the turbines aren't going to be maxed out otherwise. Get off your high seahorse.But here is a link to the French tidal power system and yes, it includes the impact on the environment.
Rance Tidal Power Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Your grasp of tidal power generation is tenuous at best. They don't only operate at "peak" periods! The turbines proposed for Puget Sound would only be non operational for the short predictable periods of slack tides. For the rest of the day the tide is either coming in or going out.
