Both the reading passage and the lecture talk about tidal power. The reading passage discusses the benefit of tidal power as one of alternative energy resources while the lecture explains some disadvantages of it.
The reading passage describes the possibility energy made by tides for future. This technology could be developed across a river estuary or at the mouth of a bay. It also needs two high and low tides which have a difference at least five meters to generate electricity. Consequently, there are some advantages of this technology such as renewable, non-polluting, and no greenhouse effect to the environment.
The lecture explains some disadvantages of tidal power technology. This technology may have negative impacts to the environment and to the people. Some environmental negative effects are the water change impact, the difference of salinity, the migration problems, and the destruction of some habitats nearby the location. The tidal power also affects the people around the dam because the fishing boats cannot sail along the estuary river.
In conclusion, although the technology of tidal power has some benefits, it also needs to overcome its drawback before serious action is taken.
