I was specifically addressing DD's suggestion that the entire power supply

distributed systems around the UK would alleviate the problem, but I think
a
lot of work still needs to be done on the effects of the lagoons on marine
environments.

Are you suggesting that the only way to extract electricity from the
tides is to build lagoons?

No. If you followed the thread, you would see that DD was suggesting they
were the answer to supplying the UK with electricity.
