- hydro-electric dams flood large patches of river, often removing fertile land and even towns and villages. They may alter the spawning habitat for fish.
- tidal barrages may affect fish movements, and may cause a silt buildup.
- wind farms are producing complaints from neighbours for their background noise.
- all alternative, that is, renewable methods of producing electricity mean that less carbon dioxide is put into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels.
