What are the disadvantages of an oil fired power station over a tidal power station?
The main disadvantage with an oil station over a tidal one is that the oil station produces much higher levels of pollution - specifically CO2. Added to this is the fact that all fossil fuel power station are running on finite resources - there is a lot of debate about how much fossils fuels we actually have left but everyone agrees that at SOME POINT it will run out.In addition to the environmental reasons, an oil plant would likely cost a lot more to build, it is mush more visible and an eyesore to most people.On the plus side for oil plants:The technology is well understood, tidal is getting there but is not a fully fledged method of power generation yet.An oil plant would create lots of jobsFossil fuel plants are very reliable (tidal is as well)And most importantly - if you want more power you can turn it up. This isn't really an option with tidal plants.
