Both the reading passage and the lecture are about the tidal power as a way to generate electricity. The reading, however, discusses solely the advantages of this source of electricity, while the lecturer concentraces on the drawbacks of its usage.
First of all, we learn from the passage that there are four possible periods of energy production every day. Even tough it might seem as quite enough, the lecturer draws our attention to the fact that this will provide ony a fraction of the needed electricity.
Secondly, the author mentions the way those dams with gates and turbines operate and how they can be adapted to different directions of the water flow. However, the lecturer claims that such dams can be built in a very limited number of locations.
FInally, the reading leaves us with the impression that tidal power is harmless. Notwithstanding, the content of the lecture proves the opporite to be true. To start with, it will certainly change the quality of water due to changes in the amount of mud and salt in it. Accordingly, this will affect many sea creatures and plants. Moreover, fish will not be able to move freely from salty and fresh water and the construction of new dams that would solve this issue is very expensive.
