Environmental and ecological discussion, particularly of things like weather and other natural phenomena (especially if they're not breaking news).
See also our Nature and Gardening community for discussion centered around things like hiking, animals in their natural habitat, and gardening (urban or rural).

There is another problem with tidal power. A big tidal project can change the tidal range over large geographic areas. There was a plan to do a tidal project in the Bay of Fundy in Maine in the 1970s. The study showed is would change tides as far away as Washington, DC. It was scrapped.
