Research into floating turbines is underway and, as Professor Garvey points out there are steep ocean shelves off the west coast of France and Portugal and around the entire periphery of the Mediterranean.
The only pristine rainforests are those which are simply inaccessible because of steep topography or the cost of extraction and transport to the coast.
Around the northern coast there are miles of quiet, narrow roads where cyclists can steep themselves in mountain and moorland scenery, and there is excellent wild camping just about everywhere.
Peel off into the mountains for the steep and well-fortified ruins of Termessos, a city founded by indigenous Anatolians, or continue along the coast to the rocky, brilliant blue beach of Olympos, complete with its own ruins that date back to the Lycians.
