This place in Norway is as far north as it can be and still be in Norway. I'd say that this is about the only kind of place where conditions are right, where there is a minimal effect to local wildlife.
...maybe it'll pave the way for these types of power plants. Maybe one under the Golden Gate someday?
All right, irregardless of the fact that placing a turbine under the Golden Gate bridge would be a hazard to shipping, it would give off enough power to, what, light up Pier 39? BFD.
If you take a look at the article, it says:
<I>The biggest tidal power plant in the world is a barrage across the La Rance river in northern France, in place since the 1960s. It has a 240-megawatt capacity, but Electricite de France has no plans to build new ones.
Canada's Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia has the highest tides in the world, at about 39 feet. Nova Scotia Power's 20 megawatt plant at Annapolis Royal, built in 1984, is the only one in North America, but the company is now focusing more on wind. "There are ecological objections to building more tidal plants along the coast," said Margaret Murphy, spokeswoman for Nova Scotia Power. </I>
What does that tell you? That this new station is bigger than France's entry by !60! Megawatts. And that where the biggest tides are, they decided to go into windpower instead. Why? Let me repeat:
<I>"There are ecological objections to building more tidal plants along the coast," </I>
If you're worried about getting a crick in your neck, multi-screen is probably the least of your worries. That kind of activity level suggests that maybe you should be net-shopping for catheter tubes.

One question - is Playboy public domain yet?
You forgot one other method:
