Can you elaborate on where the parent comment is erring? Sounds reasonable that planned interventions like tidal power plants are more controllable than global climate change
That does not mean they are less damaging. They are definitely more damaging at a local level, and it is not clear that they are better at a global level.
If I bulldoze a corner of you house for a planned turbine and say it's less damaging than a potential hurricane from climate change, it isn't going to make you feel better.
