"there is consensus"
The heading of the article claims that there is consensus about the gulf stream and then doesn't provide a single citation for that claim. Claiming consensus feels a bit bold, but doing it without *any* citations seems like a huge mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:CD01:F090:79CF:65B7:823A:16D1 (talk) 01:38, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Suggestion to remove "renewable power generation" section
The Gulf Stream's potential for renewable power generation is not significant enough to warrant its own section in this article, at least not at this point in time. The articles cited in this section are academically interesting (primarily the Yang et al. (2013) paper, none of the other references add much beyond this) but there is no significant/large-scale project underway to exploit the Gulf Stream as an energy source. A layperson reading this article may leave with the impression that this is a serious undertaking, when this is not the case. Scleractinian (talk) 14:34, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
