Pam,
Reason 1: This has been mentioned in previous threads; maintaining a turbine in that channel would be very hazardous, as it is one of the most treacherous channel areas on earth (just imagine trying to do the de-fouling maintenance, much less any major maintenance work).
Reason 2: That turbine placement is within the migratory routes of many animals, including monk seals, whales, and fish.
Reason 3: Lack of any infrastructure currently in that area for the generator.
